Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 263 The emperor’s spirit is trying to compete with the gods!

"Regret? The thing I regret most in my life is that I shouldn't have listened to Ju Su's words and supported you as the emperor!"

"If you want to kill, then kill quickly!"

Yuan Shao's voice rose and his eyes became fierce.

I'm ready to die!

However, Liu Xie sneered, "You want to die? How can it be that easy? I will take you back to Yecheng and let you experience the feeling of being paraded by Yuan Shu!"

"Let the people have a good look at the world's role model Yuan Benchu ​​as a prisoner, and let the world know that the Yuan family has produced two traitors!"

"you dare!"

Yuan Shao's face suddenly changed, and he cursed: "Liu Xie! You despicable villain! Without me, you wouldn't have everything you have now! How dare you humiliate me like this!"

Killing is just a crime. He is not afraid of death, but his pride does not allow him to be humiliated like this!
This is simply worse than killing him!
"Put it down!"

Liu Xie didn't waste any words with him. He waved his sleeves expressionlessly, and the guards standing beside him immediately stepped forward and escorted Yuan Shao out of the study.

Yuan Shao was still cursing: "You want to make me surrender? Dream on! I will never surrender even if I die..."

The scolding gradually faded away.

Liu Xie looked indifferent and said to Gao Lan, "Pass the order down. Set off back to Yecheng in three days!"

"promise!"

……

Bingzhou, Jinyang City.

Ma Chao and Han Sui's armies had already withdrawn from the city, but Guo Yuan was not happy about this at all. Instead, he felt extremely distressed.

Because he knew why Ma Chao and Han Sui retreated, it was only because of the news from Jizhou - Yuan Shao was defeated in Hejian and captured alive!

The mission of Ma Chao and the other two was to delay his troops. Now that the war was over, they chose to retreat.

"My lord, I am incompetent!"

Guo Yuan held a jar of wine and drank it, talking to himself while crying, his face full of pain and self-blame.

He never expected that because he did not lead his troops to provide support, Yuan Shao was not only defeated but also captured.

If he had known this, he would have gone to help Ma Chao and Han Sui even if it meant fighting to the death, and even if only one tenth of the army could escape alive!

But there are never any ifs in the world.

No matter how much he regrets now, the fact that Yuan Shao was captured cannot be changed, and he is the culprit who caused the defeat.

“Tons, tons, tons, tons—”

Guo Yuan raised his head and took a big sip of wine, then stumbled to his feet, walked to the sword on the shelf, and pulled it out.

Perhaps... he should die as a token of his guilt.

Guo Yuan closed his eyes and slowly placed the sword on his neck. He felt the coolness coming from the sword and couldn't help but take a deep breath, preparing to wipe it hard.

"General! Good news! Good—"

"General, what are you doing?!"

At this moment, a voice full of surprise came from outside the house, and Guo Yuan's deputy general ran into the house excitedly.

But when he saw Guo Yuan holding the sword across his neck, he was immediately shocked. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and kicked Guo Yuan hard!
This sudden kick sent Guo Yuan flying, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"You are presumptuous!"

Guo Yuan grimaced in pain. After getting up from the ground, he looked at the deputy general angrily and cursed: "I want to die to apologize to my lord! Why are you stopping me!"

"General, forgive me!"

The deputy general knelt down and said with a bitter face: "I was in a hurry and was rude just now... And General, don't rush to commit suicide, there is good news!"

"What good news? Has the lord escaped?"

Guo Yuan asked with a frown. This was the only news he wanted to hear now. Anything else was not good news.

The deputy general shook his head quickly, and then said: "It was General Tian who brought the young master from Youzhou, and they have already entered the city!"

"Young Master?"

Guo Yuan was stunned when he heard this. For a moment, he couldn't remember who the young master the deputy general was talking about. After a long while, he suddenly remembered and asked uncertainly, "Are you talking about the lord's youngest son, Young Master Yuan Mai?"

"Exactly!"

The deputy general nodded repeatedly.

Guo Yuan was overjoyed. He grabbed the deputy general's shoulder and asked anxiously, "Where are Tian Jianjun and the young master? Take me there quickly!"

The reason why he wanted to commit suicide was that Yuan Shao was captured alive and he basically had no chance of survival; moreover, two of his three sons had died, and the remaining one had severed the father-son relationship. Even if he wanted to be loyal, he could not find anyone to pledge his loyalty to, so he could only atone for his sins by dying.

But he forgot that there was a little prince!

Although this young prince was born out of wedlock and is still young, he is Yuan Shao's bloodline anyway, so he is worthy of his loyalty.

His life has a purpose to live for!

Led by his deputy general, Guo Yuan went all the way to the lobby of the prefectural government's mansion, where Tian Feng and two generals, Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin, were already waiting.

In addition, there was a young child who looked only seven or eight years old standing next to Tian Feng, holding his hand, with a slightly timid look on his face.

It was Yuan Shao’s youngest son Yuan Mai!
Guo Yuan did not hesitate, he went forward and knelt on one knee in front of Yuan Mai, and saluted: "General Guo Yuan, I greet you, young master!"

Yuan Mai was startled and hid behind Tian Feng.

He only timidly showed half of his head.

Tian Feng said to Guo Yuan, "General Guo, the young master is still young, don't scare him, and keep your voice down."

Guo Yuan couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this.

Tian Feng sighed and didn't say much. He sent Yuan Mai to the main seat and then sat down with everyone else.

He said to Guo Yuan, "The lord has been captured and his life or death is unknown. The troops in Yicheng are too few, so I brought the young master to surrender to you."

"Have Ma Chao and Han Sui's troops withdrawn?"

Guo Yuan looked depressed and nodded, "They withdrew their troops after hearing the news of our lord's defeat. It was too late for me to send troops to help... Most of the blame for our lord's defeat and capture lies with me. Please punish me, Supervisor."

Tian Feng said: "This is not your fault. I have advised you to give up Hejian County before, but you insisted on doing it, which eventually led to this result."

"Right now, the lord is still alive or dead, so it doesn't make sense to talk about whether he is guilty or not. The most important thing is to protect the young master and decide what to do next."

Guo Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and he said with murderous intent: "Military Supervisor, in my opinion, we might as well gather all the troops to rescue the lord!"

"That villain Lu Bu's army has just experienced a brutal battle in Hejian County. If we attack him, he will definitely not be able to resist!"

"Maybe we can rescue the lord!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin were eager to try.

But Tian Feng's face turned stern.

"Nonsense! Let's not talk about whether the lord is alive or dead. Even if he is still alive, if you lead the troops to attack, won't you force Lu Bu to attack the lord? And it's winter now, how can we march and fight?"

"The troops you have are the last bit of wealth left by the lord. If they are all destroyed, what will you do, young master?"

Tian Feng scolded Guo Yuan. After hearing this, Guo Yuan had to give up this idea unwillingly and said dejectedly: "But military supervisor, 30,000 soldiers may not be enough."

"Once Lü Bu has reorganized his army, he will join forces with Ma Chao and Han Sui to attack Bingzhou from both sides. How can we resist? We will just be waiting for death."

Bingzhou’s current situation is not good. There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and it faces the situation of being attacked from both sides at any time.

The situation is not optimistic.

Tian Feng said calmly: "First send a message to Yizhou and ask General Gao Gan to lead the troops back. As for how to break the deadlock, I have my own way."

Of course he knew what Guo Yuan said.

However, on the way here he had already thought of a way to break the impasse. In his opinion, if he wanted to break the impasse, he had to start with Ma Chao and Han Sui.

It’s just not convenient to talk about it right now.

"promise!"

Tian Feng was the military supervisor and Yuan Shao's trusted adviser. Guo Yuan and others had no objection to his words and agreed to them all.

……

the other side.

After leaving 3,000 soldiers to garrison Lecheng County, Liu Xie took the remaining troops and escorted Yuan Shao back to Yecheng.

However, due to the heavy snow, the march was very slow.

It took several days to leave Hejian County.

But Liu Xie was not in a hurry at all, because he was returning to the court in triumph and was not rushing to fight, so there was no problem with walking slowly.

"I don't know how long it will take for the snow to stop."

“Why is there so much snow this year?”

Gao Lan, along with several soldiers, dug out the wheel that was stuck in the snow. After blowing some air into his red frozen hands, he couldn't help but complain.

I don't know how many times the wheels got stuck along the way.

It’s all because of this heavy snow!

After cursing for a while, Gao Lan bowed to Liu Xie who was standing beside him and said, "The wheels have been dug out. Your Majesty, please get on the carriage."

Liu Xie was standing by the road admiring the snowy scenery in the distance. Hearing this, he ordered, "The soldiers are tired after traveling for several days. Stop and rest for a while."

"promise!"

Gao Lan bowed and accepted the order.

When Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Cui Yan saw Liu Xie enjoying the snow, they all gathered over.

Guo Jia reminded him, "It's freezing cold, Your Majesty must take care of your body, so let's go back to the carriage."

Liu Xie glanced at him and smiled, "I am in good health, but you, a sickly person, are really concerned about me."

"When you give up your habit of taking Wu Shi San and drinking, it won't be too late to advise me to take care of my body. Don't think I don't know that you are still secretly taking Wu Shi San."

He had reminded Guo Jia more than once.

But Guo Jia had been smoking secretly.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia could only smile awkwardly.

Jia Xu, who was standing by, would not miss such an opportunity to add insult to injury, and immediately complained to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, you don't know that this fellow not only takes Wu Shi San, but also indulges in women every day. Your Majesty can tell by looking at his frail appearance."

"He didn't listen to His Majesty's advice to take care of his health."

At this point, he looked at Guo Jia again and said earnestly: "Feng Xiao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how can you indulge yourself like this at such a young age?"

"But I do have a way of regulating the body and treating kidney essence deficiency. Given our friendship, I won't charge you any money and will teach you for free."

"Jia Wenhe!"

Guo Jia was immediately a little furious after being exposed by Jia Xu. "Can a famous scholar be called a womanizer? And I don't have kidney deficiency at all, don't slander me!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the person I saw buying aphrodisiac powder from a foreign merchant that day was not you, but someone else."

Guo Jia's face turned red and he was speechless.

Liu Xie, Cui Yan, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others couldn't help laughing out loud.

The snow was filled with a happy air.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the wind and snow in the sky gradually stopped, the clouds dispersed, the sun shone on the vast snowfield, and the sky became clear.

The distant mountains that were originally covered by snow, clouds and fog were now revealed. Looking around, the whole place was bright and the earth was covered in silver, which was beautiful beyond words.

Everyone was stunned and attracted by this rare and magnificent sight. Even Liu Xie was a little dazed for a moment and couldn't look away for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly chanted softly: "The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow."

"Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, all I see is wilderness. The mighty rivers have lost their roar. The mountains dance like silver snakes, and the plains gallop like wax elephants, trying to compete with the sky for height!"

"On a clear day, it looks particularly charming when you look at the red dress."

"This land is so beautiful that countless heroes are vying for it!"

"It is a pity that the Emperor Qin and the Emperor Wu of Zhou were slightly inferior in literary talent; the King Wen and the King Tang of Shang were slightly inferior in style..."

"It's all over, let's count the famous people, let's look at the present!"

Looking at the magnificent scenery on the snowfield, Liu Xie felt a surge of heroic spirit in his heart. He was immediately inspired and recited the poem by this great man.

Although he made slight changes to his recitation of Qinyuanchun, the majestic and powerful atmosphere of the entire poem remained the same without any loss, and it is very moving to read.

So much so that when he read the second half of the poem, his voice unconsciously became much louder and carried a hint of passion.

After he finished reading the poem, Jia Xu and others beside him were all shocked.

Although the genre of this poem is completely unfamiliar to them, they can hear the soaring heroic spirit contained in it, as well as the demeanor of being unstoppable and looking down on everything!

"What a poem!"

Cui Yan was the first to praise, with deep admiration and admiration on his face, "Your Majesty, the style of this poem is something I have never heard of before, but the spirit contained in it is truly unparalleled in the world!"

He has studied the Book of Songs in depth. The poem Liu Xie just wrote does not belong to any of the ones he knows, but it has a unique flavor.

Especially the last sentence, which reveals Liu Xie's amazing ambition!

"It's all over, let's count the famous people, let's look at the present!"

Guo Jia murmured in a low voice, his eyes sparkling, and an indescribable sense of ambition was aroused in his heart.

Yes, he wants to achieve his ideals, how can he indulge in those hobbies every day and eventually harm his body?
By that time the emperor has unified the world, but he dies young, how can he realize his ambitions and open up the dragon gate for the common people in the world?

Starting tomorrow, abstain from sex, alcohol and Wu Shi San!
Guo Jia made a secret decision in his heart.

In the carriage not far away, Yuan Shao also heard the poem that Liu Xie had just recited. At this moment, he looked at Liu Xie's tall figure with an inexplicable look of shock in his eyes.

"Even emperors like Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Zhou, he actually thought they were just so-so?"

"What kind of ambitions does he have?"
