Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 237: In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, how could an emperor die of starvation?
After Xu Chu left, Emperor Xian of Han walked out of the carriage tremblingly. He looked at the corpses and blood on the ground outside the carriage and was so scared that he could hardly stand.

"What on earth does he want to do..."

At this time, Emperor Xian of Han was filled with fear and confusion.

Why did Xu Chu come and kill the Tai'an garrison commander and the people who escorted him, but not him?
What does this mean?
Emperor Xian of Han looked at Xu Chu's back as he led his troops away. He wanted to chase him and ask him, but he was afraid, so he finally gave up the idea.

After leaning on the carriage for a long time to relax, Emperor Xian of Han hardened his heart, went back to the carriage to drag out the bodies of the two maids, and then clumsily drove the carriage and continued along the official road.

He had no other way to go except to Cao Cao. No matter what, he had to return to Xu County!

Cao Cao was the first prince to welcome him to move the capital and acknowledged his identity to the people of the world.

Anyone can say that he is a false emperor, except Cao Cao!

He was certain that Cao Cao would never dare to kill him, otherwise Xu Chu would have killed him together with him.

……

Three days later, we arrived at Dingtao County, the seat of Jiyin County.

"Finally I saw the city!"

Emperor Xian of Han looked at the city appearing not far away and couldn't help feeling excited. He could finally find a place to stay and have a good rest!

But when Emperor Xian of Han approached Dingtao County, he was stunned.

Because the gate of the capital city in front of them was tightly closed, and there were no guards on the city walls, it was empty.

"What's going on? Where are the people?"

Emperor Xian of Han couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

He stopped the carriage at the east gate of Dingtao County and shouted towards the city wall: "Where is the Dingtao garrison commander? The emperor is coming, why don't you hurry out of the city to welcome him!"

There was still no response from the city wall.

No one even poked their head out.

Emperor Xian of Han was unwilling to give in, and shouted several times in succession, and even ran to the city gate and banged on it hard.

But until his hands were swollen from clapping, there was no response from inside the city gate. Not to mention people, not even a ghost could be seen.

"what's going on?"

Emperor Xian of Han was extremely puzzled. How could Dingtao County, the seat of Jiyin, be empty? Was there a war, so everyone in the city abandoned the city and fled?
But he didn't see any soldiers along the way.

Although he was very depressed, the gate of Dingtao County was closed and there seemed to be no one inside, so Emperor Xian of Han had no way to get in.

So he had no choice but to return to the carriage, turn around and head towards the next city. Before leaving, he looked at Dingtao County several times with reluctance.

At this moment, on the city wall of Dingtao County.

All the defending soldiers huddled under the parapets and trembled in fear. Even the commander of Dingtao County was hiding here.

He stuck his head out to take a look, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the carriage of Emperor Xian of Han go away. However, he still reminded them: "Keep hiding, no one is allowed to show their heads without my order! Do you understand?"

Many soldiers responded.

A deputy general could not help but ask: "General, that is the emperor, why should we refuse him entry? This is extremely disrespectful."

"Shut up! Who told you he was the Son of Heaven?"

The Dingtao County garrison commander glared at him and said sternly, "Sikong said that this is just a person who looks like the emperor!"

A few days ago, Xu Chu came with Cao Cao's order, telling him that if he encountered someone claiming to be the emperor and wanted to enter the city, he must not let him in, otherwise everyone from the guards to the soldiers would be beheaded.

After hearing this order, he knew that the person who was coming was probably not someone who looked like the emperor, but there was another hidden secret. Otherwise, why didn't he just give the order to capture him, but just keep him out of the city?
But with military orders in place, he didn't dare open the city gate.

Fortunately, this plague god is finally gone.

"Don't come again!"

The commander of Dingtao watched Emperor Xian of Han go away, still feeling a lingering fear in his heart, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

……

A few days later, outside Chenliu City.

Emperor Xian of Han, who was already so hungry that his face turned pale, lay down outside the tightly closed gate of Chenliu County, banging on the door and shouting weakly, "Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"I am the Son of Heaven. I was once the King of Chenliu! Don't you recognize me? Open the door quickly."

"It doesn't matter who it is, can someone come and give me a stutter?"

Emperor Xian of Han was so depressed at this time that he felt like crying but had no tears left.

After leaving Dingtao County, he traveled for several days before arriving at Chenliu County, his former fiefdom.

I thought I could get some rest here, but I didn't expect that the city gates here were closed like Dingtao County, and it looked deserted.

The food in the carriage had been eaten up three days ago, so he had not eaten for three days. When he was hungry, he could only drink some mountain spring water to fill his stomach.

Now even the road is trembling.

Emperor Xian of Han knocked on the city gate for a long time, but when no one answered, he struggled to get up and staggered towards the carriage.

"Why, why won't you let me enter the city?"

"There are obviously people in the city!"

Emperor Xian of Han burst into tears.

In the absence of war or natural disasters, the gates of two cities were closed one after another. Even a fool could guess that there was something fishy.

Before he arrived at Chenliu County, he still saw smoke rising from the city, which meant that there were people in the city, but they just refused to open the city gates for him and were even more unwilling to let him enter!
But why is it like this?
He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. He is the Son of Heaven, but now he can't even enter the city of the Han Dynasty?

There is no emperor in the world who knocks on the door!

After crying for a long time, Emperor Xian of Han drove the carriage again and headed towards Xu County along the official road.

"Xu County, it will be fine once we get to Xu County..."

"Meng De will definitely accept me!"

Emperor Xian of Han drove his carriage at full speed while crying, placing all his hopes on Xu County and Cao Cao.

In this way, he traveled for another day.

Then I had to stop.

Due to not having eaten for a long time, he had no strength left in his body. Not only could he drive, even staying awake became a problem, and his eyes began to feel dizzy.

Emperor Xian of Han stopped his carriage beside a small river, stretched his head into the river and drank some water, but he still could not suppress the hunger in his stomach.

He hadn't had a full meal for four days.

"I am the emperor. Am I really going to starve to death? In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, has there ever been an emperor who starved to death?"

Emperor Xian of Han leaned against the carriage and cried bitterly.

He cried so much that he fainted.

Not far from him, Xu Chu was watching this scene secretly. He couldn't help but frowned and ordered the general beside him: "You, go catch a wild boar and send it over."

Cao Cao had ordered him to protect the emperor's safety and not let him die in Yanzhou or Yuzhou. Now that the emperor was almost starving to death, he certainly could not sit idly by.

It is not possible to give them dry food directly as it will expose their presence, so it is better to catch some prey and send it to them.

"Ah I?"

The general who was called by Xu Chu was confused. Where could he find wild boars in this desolate mountain and wilderness?

However, Xu Chu's order had been given and he could not disobey it, so he took a dozen soldiers and ran deep into the forest.

After about half an hour, the general returned along the same route, carrying a dead wild boar behind him - he had actually hunted it. The general and several others carried the wild boar to the carriage of Emperor Xian of Han, put it down, kicked the carriage hard, and ran away in a hurry.

Emperor Xian of Han, who was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, felt the vibration from the carriage behind him. He opened his eyes with difficulty and looked to the other side of the carriage.

Then he couldn't help but widen his eyes instantly.

"Wild boar?!"

Emperor Xian of Han quickly got up from the ground, ran to the wild boar, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

This is indeed a dead wild boar!

But...how could a dead wild boar suddenly appear?

Emperor Xian of Han glanced at the carriage, then at the wild boar, and could not help but come up with a bold guess in his mind. He said excitedly: "In ancient times, there was a man who waited for a rabbit by a tree stump. Now, I am waiting for a boar by a carriage!"

"This wild boar must have been killed by the carriage!"

"Heaven will not destroy me!"

"The late emperor of the Han Dynasty has appeared!"

Emperor Xian of Han was so excited that he almost wanted to dance.

Finally something to eat!
Rolling up his sleeves, Emperor Xian of Han wanted to bite the wild boar... wait, bite?
Emperor Xian of Han was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the wild boar in front of him, which was covered with black hair and exuded a fishy smell, and suddenly realized a problem.

Now we have food, but what should we do with it?

Court etiquette didn’t teach him this!

And he didn't even have a knife in his hand!
Thinking of this, Emperor Xian of Han could not help but feel grief-stricken. He seemed to have lost all strength. He leaned against the carriage and cried, "What can I do? What can I do? Please show your power again, my late emperor..."

In the woods far away, Xu Chu's face darkened.

How could this bird emperor be so despicable!

Cursing in his heart, Xu Chu once again ordered his subordinates: "You, go catch two rabbits, roast them and send them over!"

"it's me again?"

The general had a bitter look on his face. It was really difficult to hunt in the mountains. Wouldn't it be better to just throw some dry food over?

But after seeing Xu Chu's glare, he had no choice but to obediently take his bow and arrow and go back into the forest. After half an hour, he came back carrying a rabbit.

Then he skinned and cleaned the rabbit, roasted it over a fire, pierced it with an arrow, and aimed it at the carriage not far away.

Then an arrow shot out!
The feather arrow nailed the rabbit to the carriage, which scared Emperor Xian of Han who was still crying.

When he looked up, he was stunned to see the roasted rabbit nailed to the carriage by feather arrows, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Where, where did you get the roasted rabbit?"

Emperor Xian of Han looked around but didn't see anyone, so he reached out and pulled the arrow down, then took a tentative bite of the rabbit meat.

It is indeed rabbit meat!
Emperor Xian of Han was extremely surprised. He held the rabbit and began to eat it. He said excitedly, "It must be the spirit of my late emperor! My ancestors would not want to see me starve to death!"

First it was a dead wild boar, then a roasted rabbit.

Emperor Xian of Han thought that this must be the manifestation of his ancestors!
While chewing the rabbit, Emperor Xian of Han began to recall his experiences over the past period of time.

First, his mutiny in Xu County failed, but he managed to escape; then he was captured by Lu Bu, who failed to kill him even though he cut through a pillar with his sword.

When he was about to be escorted to Yecheng to be executed, Yuan Tan began to blockade Qingzhou, and the escort team was trapped in the mountains.

Just when Cao Xing, Wang Chong and others were about to kill him, Yuan Tan's personal guards arrived in time and rescued him.

Although it was dangerous so many times, I managed to escape death each time. If it were an ordinary person, I would have died a hundred times already. How could I be alive today?

It must be the successive emperors of the Han Dynasty who are blessing him!
"The saints once said that when God bestows a great mission upon a man, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones toil, and his body hungry. These are the hardships I have to endure before I can accomplish great things!"

"I have survived so many experiences, which shows that I am the one destined by heaven! What can swords and knives do to me?"

Emperor Xian of Han was full of fighting spirit.

The roasted rabbit that fell from the sky this time made him truly convinced that he was the one destined by heaven and that he was not comparable to the false emperor in Yecheng.

After eating half of the roasted rabbit in his hand, Emperor Xian of Han was still not full, but he did not dare to eat more for fear of upset his stomach.

Moreover, the journey to Xu County would still take several days, so he had to save some time. After all, he didn't know whether his ancestors would appear again.

After putting away the remaining half of the roasted rabbit, Emperor Xian of Han climbed back into the carriage and continued driving to Xu County.

……

Xu County, on the city wall.

Cao Cao and Xu You came together to inspect the city defenses, and at the same time, Cao Cao could not help but say with concern: "I wonder if the fake emperor has left Yanzhou and Yuzhou now. Xu Chu has not sent back any news yet."

He only told Xu You about Emperor Xian of Han's return to Yanzhou.

Xu Chu had been gone for many days and had not sent any news back, so he did not know whether Emperor Xian of Han had left Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

Xu You smiled and said, "Ah Man, why worry? You have already asked Xu Chu to send an order to all cities not to let the fake emperor into the city. Who dares to disobey?"

"The false emperor must have known what you meant when he saw this and chose to leave."

Xu You said this, but a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

He only found out about this not long ago.

Although he wanted to send people to secretly capture or kill this false emperor, Cao Cao had sent Xu Chu to lead troops to protect him secretly, so he did not dare to act rashly.

"hope so."

Cao Cao sighed. He had finally sent the fake emperor away and really didn't want this hot potato to come back.

He, Cao Mengde, is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
This fake emperor ruined his reputation!
Just as Cao Cao was thinking this, another soldier rode into the city on horseback, then hurried up the city wall and reported anxiously:

"Sikong! General Xu Chu sent me here to report that the fake emperor is on his way to Xu County! He is almost outside the city!"

"what?!"

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked outside the city. Sure enough, he saw a luxurious carriage on the official road in the distance, galloping towards Xu County!

He seemed to see Emperor Xian of Han, who was driving a horse-drawn carriage, waving his whip excitedly and waving at him.

"Quick, quick! Close the city gate!"

Cao Cao was very anxious and gave orders in a panic.

At the same time, I felt extremely puzzled.

It is hundreds of miles from Tai'an to Xu County. How could this false emperor have such great perseverance to go back to Xu County?

Fuck you!

Why don’t you go to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao!

Liu Biao is a relative of the Han royal family and has always attached great importance to red tape. How could he not serve you?
No matter how panicked he was, he would never let the fake emperor enter the city!
In the distance, Emperor Xian of Han was very excited when he saw the wide-open gate of Xu County, but when he saw people outside the city starting to rush into the city and the gate began to slowly fall, he suddenly became anxious.

"I haven't entered the city yet! I haven't entered the city yet! Don't close the city gate!"

"Drive! Drive!"

Emperor Xian of Han kept waving his whip and galloped towards the city gate.

He must enter the city!
