Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 512 Cao Cao Has Another Move?

After receiving Zhang Can's battle report, Liu Xie suddenly remembered the Xianglin sister-in-law described by Lu Xun for some reason, and then his whole face turned gray instantly, and he muttered to himself: "I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid!" Yes, I only knew that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would do things for me in Kansai, but I didn't expect that Cao Cao, a bastard, would repeat his tricks under his nose..."

In such a harsh moment when the front of the army is shining and the battle is imminent, the news that can make Liu Xie say such words is: Chen Liu and Zhang Miao have rebelled!

Liu Xie's mood at this moment is very indescribable, less than [-]% of them are shocked, hesitant, and deplored all kinds of entanglements, while [-]% of them are deeply depressed.

The source of this depression is that he already had such worries before the news of the Kansai turmoil and Chen Liu's rebellion came.Because, before the general attack on Xiahou Dun, he asked Jia Xu, Xun You, and Li Ru to stand in the perspective of Cao Cao to understand the weakness of the Han Dynasty.

I still remember that night, when the four monarchs and ministers were in harmony, Jia Xu, the 'old poison', knelt in the corner, wrapped in sable fur, rubbing a knife coin, and said vaguely: "Your Majesty, if the old minister is Cao Cao's vassal Your Majesty, when expelling Han Sui as a minion and using Zhang Lu as a hindrance, caused turmoil in Kansai. As a result, His Majesty cannot look after each other from head to toe, and will inevitably fall into the predicament of Yanzhou, leaving Cao Mengde with a chance to breathe."

Afterwards, Xun You frowned calmly, and said after Jia Xu: "If I am Cao Cao's subordinate, after the turmoil in Kansai, I will instigate Chenliu and Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao is loyal, cowardly, and in troubled times." Among them, he will only follow the trend, but if there is a strong external force, he will be in chaos. In addition, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao's land, and Zang Hong, the governor of the East County under Yuan Shao's tent, are inseparable, which is deeply unfavorable to our army."

After listening to the speeches of these two famous military figures, Li Ru couldn't help but sighed, and analyzed to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, these two schemes are already vicious, but the most vicious part is still in the choice between priorities. The turmoil in Kansai must be launched when Chang'an's reinforcements have arrived, making Chang'an stretched. At the same time, the strategy of rebelling against Chen Liu must also be done after His Majesty's lone army goes deep. Only then can the Han army sink deep in mud, and there is nowhere to ask for help..."

Liu Xie has long known that conspiracy is a very strange event.He will definitely make you helpless the moment you know it.But he never expected that when he encountered such ironic incidents, even though he knew about them in advance, they still appeared in front of his eyes in such a rampant way as usual, completely smashing the luck in his heart to pieces.

But Liu Xie couldn't be overwhelmed by these losses at all. On the contrary, he was unusually calm at the moment, and the sense of relief after the disillusionment in his heart made his brain like a machine, and quickly jumped to the next question: How should I face Cao Cao!
Liu Xie never thought that he would have such excellent qualities at this moment, but he also fully understood that most of the time people feel sad for spring and autumn, and that is because they are idle.When you are really on the front line of life and death, all sentimental emotions will automatically take a back seat to the second line.For example, at this moment, if Liu Xie made a half-step wrong, he might be exchanged for the destruction of the absolute elite of the [-] Han army.Any regrets, self-blame, and low negative emotions must make way for the cruel reality in front of us.

When Chen Liuyi rebelled, the grain supply of the entire Han army was interrupted.The fact that the food road was cut off was definitely a fatal flaw during the Cold War.Soldiers may not be afraid of being killed by the enemy on the battlefield, but they are absolutely afraid of starving to death on the battlefield.

Therefore, since ancient times, the generals have exhausted all kinds of methods on this matter, some concealed it, and some coaxed it. For example, when Cao Cao was in Guandu, he borrowed the head of the Duliangguan to quell the army's anger because of the lack of food.It seems that there is no fairness and humanity at all, but in that situation, there is no doubt that Cao Cao's approach is insidious and wise.

And what should the Han army do at this moment?

Is it a desperate fight with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will not return if he is not destroyed; or is it a counterattack, and quickly return to the defense to attack Chenliu and open the grain road from Guanzhong to Yanzhou?
This is a question, and a big one, a matter of life and death, a choice to be made!
But Liu Xie didn't even have time to discuss and consider.At this time, no strategy, vision, or strategy will help.It only tests a person's character and endowment, tests whether God is Liu Xie's real father, whether God will send divine power to help Liu Xie pass this level...

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Yun was rarely the first to speak, but faced with such a situation, he still had no good plan.But he tried his best to laugh, clenched the spear in his hand and said: "There is a minister by His Majesty's side, no matter whether you charge into battle or attack a city, you will defend His Majesty to the death and fight to the end!"

"Your Majesty, we all have this intention, and we are willing to follow His Majesty to advance and retreat, share honor and disgrace!" Xu Huang also spoke, and he, who was still oozing blood on his arm, looked extremely desolate and tragic at this moment.

"We are willing to advance and retreat with the emperor, share honor and disgrace!" This is the passionate words of all the generals on horseback.

"We are willing to advance and retreat together with the Son of Heaven, share honor and disgrace!" The voice moved from near to far, although some school lieutenants and partial generals did not know what happened.But seeing Liu Xie suddenly suspend the order of the general attack, they all roared loudly.

"I am willing to advance and retreat with the emperor, share honor and disgrace!" In the end, this persistent wish was passed on to the hearts of every Han soldier, and they all screamed together, and the sound shook the sky!Loudly declaring their prayers and loyalty to the Son of Heaven, without fear or regret, they could go on without even frowning.

Looking at the solemn and resolute faces of the [-] Han troops, Liu Xie suddenly felt relieved: The military spirit is so available, why should I be afraid of it?The situation on the battlefield has always changed rapidly, and there are many cases where the few outnumber the strong. At this moment, the army's morale is so passionate that he only needs to wave the flag and hit him. Wouldn't he shy away from any difficulties and obstacles under the might of the soldiers?
As long as Cao Cao is defeated in this battle, everything else will no longer be a problem.Although, this battle is bound to be an endless and fierce battle, but in the current troubled times, who dares to use the purest balance of interests to achieve the result with the least cost and the greatest benefit?

Thinking of this, Liu Xie was suddenly shocked physically and mentally, and the gloom in his chest was instantly burnt out by the raging pride.The fire of pride instantly made him feel excited again. He galloped his horse forward a few steps and yelled at Cao Cao: "Cao Mengde, even if you have exhausted all your tricks, how can you defeat my soldiers? Today, I will definitely fight against you!" You must live and die with the soldiers, and swear to kill the country's thieves to prove the way of heaven!"

Witnessing the scene of the Han army drinking together, Cao Cao's face, which was originally full of pleasure and revenge, was gradually covered by gloom.Just because he is also a person with flesh and blood and emotions, he will also be shocked and then reflect.What's more, he knew from the very beginning that disputes in troubled times were not trivial matters of grievances or hatred.

On the contrary, at this moment, he even felt a little regretful.If I hadn't insulted the emperor of the Han Dynasty as much as I did just now, I am afraid that the [-] Han troops would not have the same hatred.It is true that he has tried his best, but this result made Cao Cao deeply feel the sadness of "man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation".

Therefore, when Liu Xie was in a state of arrogance, Cao Cao drove the horse slowly, and said to Liu Xie in a calm sentence: "Your Majesty, Ruochen has come to his senses this time, and he wants to guard one side for the Han Dynasty again, and to appease the enemy." Central Plains, I wonder if His Majesty will give you permission?"

The tone of this sentence was very light, and when it reached Liu Xie's ears, it was also very weak.But it was just such a sentence that sounded calm and romantic, but Liu Xie couldn't help but want to go crazy: Cao Cao, a traitor, what on earth does he want to do? !Could it be that such a world-shaking battle was nothing more than a game in his eyes?

What's more, where do you think I, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is placed?This Han Dynasty is the one that rebelled when you said it, and surrendered when you said it? ...Well, although the Han Dynasty has never been so good for the Qiang and Hu aliens, the problem is that you, Cao Cao, are pure and pure Han people, and the Han family is Zhen, Zhen!I am the master of the house, how can I allow you to play me like a mouse? !

But these most superficial and most directly raised emotions, Liu Xie could only firmly suppress them in his heart.He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty first, and then Liu Xie is such a person.A person can be self-willed and ignore it, but the emperor who rules all nations must not let his emotions run wild and indulge.

Moreover, he also clearly realized that returning to the Han Dynasty was the most sensible choice for Cao Cao.Don't say that Xiahou Dun hurt his eyes, Cao Cao would not die with the Han Dynasty. Driven by political interests, even if Liu Xie poached Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Cao would also want to return to the Han Dynasty.

After all, the Heavenly Power of the Han Dynasty still exists, and there is an increasing tendency to revive it.With the guise of the courtiers of the Han Dynasty standing in front of them, everything they do is justified, otherwise, no matter how correct they are, they can only be regarded as committing chaos.If Cao Cao has experienced Xuzhou's tragedy, if he hasn't figured it out, then he is not worthy of being Cao Cao.

It is true that the Han Dynasty has turned over now, and Cao Cao cannot tolerate the emperor to order the princes. Otherwise, Cao Cao did this in history. Do you think he is full?
But no matter what happened to Cao Cao, there was only one question for Liu Xie: "Cao Mengde, are you worthy?!"

Yes, with such stains as Xuzhou on his body, Cao Cao will live forever as a historical sinner.Today, he is not the king of Wei who swept all over the world and plundered half of the Han Dynasty. He wants to return to the Han Dynasty at this moment, which is tantamount to wishful thinking.

But Cao Cao really just smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, what if I can show enough sincerity?"
