Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 214: Send an order to Xu County to send the queen to Yecheng as soon as possible
Hearing Fude’s extremely sad cry.

Liu Xie's expression was very strange.

Why do those words he said... sound so familiar?
Why do they all like to sleep in dilapidated temples and compete for food with wild dogs?

Don’t you have your own words?
Liu Xie suppressed the twitching corners of his mouth and resisted the strong urge to complain.

Taking advantage of the news brought by Fude, he further confirmed his identity as the emperor.

He stood up suddenly and shouted angrily: "How dare that thief Cao and the false emperor be so bold as to depose the queen without authorization!"

"Fu De, the father-in-law and the queen are unwilling to submit to the thief Cao and the false emperor. What is their current situation? Is their life in danger?"

Liu Xie's tone was anxious and his face was full of concern.

Although his acting skills did not reach their peak at this moment, it was still an extraordinary performance.

"Your Majesty... I don't know." Fu De shook his head in frustration and said tearfully, "I have been hiding from Cao Cao and have lost contact with my father for a long time."

"But my father angrily rebuked Cao the thief in court, and was determined to die. The queen also faced death in order to preserve her reputation and chastity. I risked my life to escape from Xu County, just to let Your Majesty know the truth and clear my Fu family of the unjust injustice."

"When my father sent me on the carriage to Yecheng, he said four words that I will never forget..."

At this point, he paused.

Everyone present was smart and they all understood that he was waiting for the supporting actor to come on stage.

Liu Xie was now eager to clear the Fu family's name and tie Fu Wan and the queen to his chariot.

But as the emperor, it is obviously inappropriate for him to be someone else's supporting actor.

In the court, Yang Xiu saw Liu Xie hesitated to speak, and immediately understood, and asked: "Which four words?"

When Liu Xie saw this, he was overjoyed.

At the critical moment, it still has to be Yang Xiu.

Upon hearing this, Fude stopped crying and suddenly raised his head.

At this moment, his somewhat hunched body straightened up, his eyes became bright, and he said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Revitalize the Han Dynasty!"

They are just four simple words, but when spoken from Fude's mouth, they are full of passion and enthusiasm, and are so powerful!

Although all the officials in the hall knew that Fude was putting on a show, his words were in line with the political correctness of the Han Dynasty after all, so they all cooperated and showed expressions of emotion.

"It turns out that Fu Guozhang has been enduring humiliation all this time!"

“It’s really sad.”

"The Fu family is full of loyal and brave people! They are loyal and good people of the Han Dynasty!"

"The queen is also loyal and faithful. The traitor Cao and the fake emperor dared to do such a rebellious thing. They should be killed!

……

Listening to the discussions of many officials in the hall, Yang Xiu was so jealous that his back teeth were almost broken, and he wished he could replace Fu De.

He also wants to show off in front of others like this!

He also wants to enhance the Yang family's reputation!
On the steps, Liu Xie felt a little emotional and admired Fu De's performance very much.

If I have to describe it in one word, it would be a textbook performance.

In this era, movie stars can be found everywhere.

He became more vigilant and warned himself not to be arrogant, so as not to be deceived by the people below him in the future.

When the words "revitalize the Han Dynasty" are mentioned, coupled with Fu Wan's behavior, the dethronement of Empress Fu, and Fu De's current miserable state, who can say that the Fu family are not loyal ministers?
"Wind and frost reveal the nature of plants and trees; danger and chaos reveal their chastity and integrity!" Liu Xie's eyes turned red and his face was filled with emotion.

He raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent tear from the corner of his eye, looked at Fu De and said seriously: "Since the father-in-law and the queen are in Cao's camp but their hearts are with Han, how can I just ignore them?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue the father-in-law and the queen from Xu County! I will never let the loyal ministers feel disappointed!"

Upon hearing this, Fu De burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! With your words, my father can rest in peace even if he dies!"

The two of them had no rehearsal at all, but their cooperation was seamless. In this concerted effort, Liu Xie greatly confirmed his orthodox status as the Han Dynasty, and Fu De also confirmed the Fu family's loyalty.

After another round of conversation, Liu Xie sighed slightly and said, "You have been exhausted from running all the way. Now that you have arrived in Yecheng, you can rest assured... Dezu, you are familiar with Fude, please take care of everything for me."

Yang Xiu stepped out and bowed: "I obey your order!"

……

After the court session, Yang Xiu took Fu De back to his residence.

After sending the servants away, he angrily scolded: "You are so good, Fu De, you can even make up such a lie!"

"In order to win the sympathy of His Majesty, you even dress yourself up like this. You are so shameless and disgusting!"

"Disgusting! Bah!"

Yang Xiu stood on the moral high ground and pointed fingers at Fu De, refusing to acknowledge his own jealousy and sourness.

Fu De snorted coldly and said confidently: "My Fu family has always been a loyal family. How could we make up lies? In my opinion, it is obviously your dirty heart!"

Yang Xiu was so angry at Fu De's shamelessness that he trembled all over. He sneered and said, "Okay! Since you don't admit it, I will talk to you properly!"

"If Cao Cao wanted to hunt you down, you wouldn't be able to escape Yanzhou even if you were given a hundred lives! Why don't you tell me how you escaped from Cao Cao's pursuit?"

Fude was speechless for a moment... This was indeed made up.

Cao Cao did not send anyone to hunt him down.

Cao Cao had no idea that he had left Xu County.

Seeing that Fu De was speechless, Yang Xiu tugged at his tattered clothes and the weeds in his hair, glanced at his limping leg, and said with a click of the tongue:
"Look at the way you're dressed. You look so real. I almost thought you were a refugee from somewhere."

Fu De couldn't help it now, and said angrily: "You can say that Cao Cao chasing me is a fabrication, but you can't say that my tragic experience along the way is also a fabrication!"

"My purse and horse were stolen, and I broke my leg while climbing a tree to pick fruit. I slept in a dilapidated temple and fought with wild dogs for food. This is all true!"

"One month. Do you know how I got through this month?"

As Fude spoke, he began to cry.

I was extremely sad and angry.

His experience of wandering all the way from Xu County to Yecheng for two months was so sad that when he thinks back on it now, he doesn't know how he managed to hold on.

Seeing him like this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. He stopped questioning him and ordered his servants to prepare wine and food.

Fude hadn't had a full meal for some days, so he started to eat ravenously, crying as he ate.

He hadn't had such a good meal for a long time.

Yang Xiu had no appetite, so he just drank a few sips of wine and asked, "You said that Lord Fu was imprisoned by Cao Cao and the queen was deposed. Is this true?"

"Of course!" Fu De swallowed the food in his mouth and said indignantly: "You Yang family are really sinister. It's fine if you just replaced the emperor, but you also want to use our Fu family as a stepping stone!"

"In order to protect the reputation of my Fu family, my father angrily denounced Cao Cao for pretending to be the emperor in the court, which angered Cao Cao and he imprisoned him. Not long after, the empress was also deposed by the fake emperor!"

"This is all your Yang family's fault. How can you repay our Fu family for what you owe them?"

Fu De was full of resentment towards Yang Biao and Yang Xiu.

You said that your Yang family replaced the emperor, so why did you have to be on guard against the Fu family? They are royal relatives, how could they betray the emperor?

It's really unreasonable.

Yang Xiu felt guilty when he heard this, because it was indeed his father who did something unkind. In his opinion, there was no need to be on guard against the Fu and Dong families.

Having more relatives to help means more strength.

But suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

"It was my father who replaced the emperor. It's understandable that Lord Fu didn't know about it, but why couldn't the queen tell the fake emperor's identity? This is impossible."

"Wait... Could it be that the Queen has always known about the fake emperor's identity, but she concealed it just to protect His Majesty, and is actually in cahoots with my father?" "Now that she has been deposed, could it be that she wants to take this opportunity to get away and clear the Fu family's name?"

The more Yang Xiu thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Empress Fu had not exposed the identity of the fake emperor before, and even helped to conceal it.

He told Fude about his guess. Fude was stunned after hearing it, with vegetable leaves hanging from his mouth. He said in disbelief:

"So... my Fu family is actually a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"

"Has the Queen really been enduring humiliation all this time?"

He had previously thought that Empress Fu had been deceived by the fake emperor, but after hearing what Yang Xiu said, he also felt that something was not right.

It turns out that my sister hid it so deeply!
He even hid it from his relatives!

Yang Xiu said confidently: "Of course it is, Brother Fu. Your Fu family is as meritorious as our Yang family in protecting the emperor!"

Hearing these words, Fude came back to his senses, and suddenly he felt extremely happy, but this was followed by worry and melancholy.

"But my father and the queen are in the hands of Cao thief. Given his cruelty, he will definitely not let them go easily."

"Your Majesty is probably powerless now."

Yang Xiu couldn't help but think of his father who committed suicide by hitting his head against the wall. He felt a sense of sympathy for Fu De and spoke out to comfort him.

"Brother Fu, you don't have to worry too much. Everything is for the Han Dynasty! As long as His Majesty is safe, the sacrifices of my father and Lord Fu are worth it."

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

As Yang Xiu spoke, he picked up some food for Fu De.

Fude nodded with tears in his eyes, lowered his head and continued eating.

……

Imperial Palace, Xuanshi.

The court meeting has ended, but no conclusion has been reached on how to deal with Yuan Shao.

Or some things are not good to say at court meetings because they will shake people's hearts.

Therefore, after the court session, Liu Xie called Guo Jia and Jia Xu to the Xuanshi Hall to continue discussing in depth how to deal with Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to ask Lord Wen to dispatch troops from Yangzhou to help."

"Not to mention that once Lord Wen leaves Yangzhou, all the cities that we have conquered will be lost. It will also be a problem for us to get the army here."

"To get from Xuzhou to Yecheng, you have to pass through Qingzhou or Yanzhou. Yanzhou is Cao Cao's territory, and Qingzhou is heavily guarded by Yuan Tan. Neither is passable."

The reason why Zhang Liao was able to lead his troops through Qingzhou last time was because Taishi Ci raised an army in Beihai and attracted Yuan Tan's troops.

If you want to use the same old trick again now, I'm afraid it won't work.

"Feng Xiao is right." Jia Xu also nodded and gave his own suggestion: "Your Majesty, isn't Xu You currently working as an insider for Cao Cao? I think we can ask Xu You to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to Qingzhou, or let Duke Wen pass through Yanzhou."

"Youzhou is already in Yuan Shao's hands. If Cao Cao turns back to seize Yecheng, he will face Yuan Shao's threat."

"He must understand the principle that the lips and teeth are interdependent."

Although Cao Cao's crime of pretending to be the emperor was unforgivable, their goals were the same in fighting against Yuan Shao, the great enemy, so they could join forces.

Liu Xie shook his head slowly and said, "It is unlikely that Cao Cao will send troops. Once he sends troops to help me, it will be equivalent to admitting that the emperor of Xu County is a fake."

"We can let him pass through to let Duke Wen's army come... but doing so is very dangerous. Once Duke Wen's army enters, we will be trapped between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and we will have no help."

"I think we cannot let Lord Wen lead his troops to help."

After reading so many military books and detailed records of battles, Liu Xie is no longer the stupid college student who had just traveled through time and knew nothing.

Today, he has a strategic vision and the ability to analyze the situation, coupled with the knowledge and memory of later generations. Although he is not as good as Jia Xu and others, he should never be underestimated.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu and Guo Jia fell into deep thought.

If Cao Cao had not sent troops, Lu Bu would not have been able to cross Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

The best option is to escape from Yecheng.

But Yecheng was a thorn in Jizhou. As long as Yecheng existed, it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to occupy the entire Jizhou.

Once Yuan Shao captured Ye City, he would own four entire states. No one in the world would be able to resist his army.

Jia Xu pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie and Guo Jia both looked at him with burning eyes.

Jia Xu said, "Your Majesty, since Cao Cao will not send troops to help due to his reputation as a fake emperor, and Duke Wen's troops cannot be mobilized, why don't you issue an imperial decree to order Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou to send troops?"

"These two men dominated Liangzhou and Guanzhong, commanding an army of hundreds of thousands. Their military might was extremely strong, but they were at odds with each other and had been fighting for years."

"If Your Majesty explains the interests involved to Ma Teng and Han Sui and promises them high positions and generous salaries, even if they are unwilling to surrender, they may still send troops to attack Yuan Shao."

Neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui wanted to be labeled a traitor.

Historically, as soon as Cao Cao offered amnesty, the two surrendered and each sent their son to Xu County as a hostage.

Although Liu Xie's power today is far less than that of Cao Cao in history, he has the righteousness of the emperor, which allows them to legitimately transform themselves from rebels to Han officials.

What's more, Ma Teng and Han Sui may not necessarily not covet Bingzhou.

If they sent troops, or even just one side attacked Bingzhou in the name of serving the king, Yuan Shao would definitely not be able to ignore it and would have to dispatch troops to resist.

By then, the pressure faced by Yecheng will be greatly reduced, and it will have a chance to catch its breath.

After analyzing the situation in his mind, Liu Xie felt that Jia Xu's proposal was feasible, so he nodded and said, "Then let's follow Wen He's advice and order Ma Teng and Han Sui to send troops to Bingzhou."

If there are dates but there are no dates, it will take two shots.

There is no better way now anyway.

Even if Ma Teng and Han Sui were unwilling to be enemies with Yuan Shao, the worst that could happen was that he would take the 20,000 troops from Yecheng and leave Jizhou, and join Lu Bu in capturing Qingzhou.

But unless it was absolutely necessary, Liu Xie was still unwilling to exchange Yecheng for Qingzhou.

After this matter was settled, Jia Xu and Guo Jia took their leave.

Liu Xie drafted two imperial edicts and ordered them to be delivered to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

He then drafted an imperial edict and sent it to Xu County.

The general meaning of this imperial edict was to ask Cao Cao to send Fu Wan, Yang Biao and Empress Fu to Yecheng.

If Cao Cao gets confused and really follows orders, that would be a great thing.

If Cao Cao was furious, in order to ensure the legitimacy of Emperor Xian of Han and his own reputation, he ordered the killing of Yang Biao, Fu Wan, and even Empress Fu who had betrayed Emperor Xian of Han, that was also what Liu Xie expected.

Yang Biao and Fu Wan successively expressed their loyalty to Liu Xie. This imperial edict was an open conspiracy. As long as it was sent to Xu County, Cao Cao would have to make a decision no matter what.

He can't get away with it by pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"Die, it would be best if you die with Empress Fu, so that I will have no loopholes. After you die, I will definitely treat the Fu and Yang families well."

Liu Xie's eyes were slightly cold. He held the imperial seal and pressed it heavily on the imperial edict.

……

At noon, three imperial edicts were issued from Yecheng.

One letter was sent to Ma Teng and the other to Han Sui.

The last letter was sent to Xu County.
