Lu Dynasty

Chapter 741
Since Cao killed Fu, Liu Xie's spirit has deteriorated day by day.Seeing this situation, Cao was very anxious.Although Liu Xie is just a puppet, it is the banner of righteousness in his hand. If this banner falls, not to mention that he will bear the notoriety of killing the lord and usurping the throne, at least it will cause dissatisfaction among a large number of his subordinates. One of the!In Xun Yu's eyes, Fu Wan and the others really needed to be taught a lesson, but that didn't mean he agreed with Cao killing them all.You know, no matter how much Fu Wan goes too far, he is also a royalist, and Empress Fu is the mother of the country. Cao's behavior is like a slap in the face of Liu Xie.In Xun Yu's heart, Liu Xie's face is the face of a big man. Cao's doing so is betraying the big man and him!In a fit of rage, Xun Yu actually reported illness!

There are many talents under Cao's command, but compared with the history, it is still much worse.At least, in history, after Xun Yu's death, Cao's subordinates were not in chaos, but now that Xun Yu has put down his pick, Cao's subordinates immediately became chaotic.Not for other reasons, but because no one can manage the internal affairs better than Xun Yu, and Xun Yu's account is not something that other people can easily handle.Cao had a great headache for Xun Yu, but he couldn't live without Xun Yu.

In order to appease Xun Yu, Cao could only surrender to Liu Xie.He first came to the palace to express his heart to Liu Xie, and then gave his daughter to Liu Xie as his wife with great fanfare. With Cao's daughter sitting in the harem, Liu Xie's status immediately improved.At least those maids and eunuchs dare not underestimate Liu Xie. After all, Liu Xie was just a puppet, but now he has become Cao's son-in-law, but Liu Xie is suffering.Think back when Empress Fu was around, although Liu Xie was stared at, at least he could sleep peacefully.Now he can't even think about being safe, who knows if he will say something in his dream that makes Cao dissatisfied, or reveal a plan to deal with Cao.Looking at the charming Cao family, Liu Xie wanted to cry but had no tears. This is the queen that Cao found for him, she is obviously a personal surveillance!But he couldn't and didn't dare to refuse!Compared with Liu Xie's helplessness, Cao is much better.At least Cao sent his daughter to the palace on the front foot, and Xun Yu went to work normally on the back foot.However, the rift between Cao and Xun Yu is getting bigger and bigger!
Cao's atrocities also spread to Luoyang. As Liu Xie's eldest brother, Liu Bian felt uncomfortable seeing his younger brother being bullied, but he also knew that with Liu Xie's character, he asked for it.As the saying goes: At the age of three, Liu Xie can frame his own brother at the age of seven or eight. This kind of unfeeling character is a necessary condition for being a king.It's a pity that he was born late, otherwise with his cold personality and not stupid mind, if he was born ten years earlier, he would at least be a hero.However, Liu Bian is not a heartless person, he is very kind.When he knew what happened to Liu Xie, he immediately ran to me, hoping that I could send troops to attack Cao to save Liu Xie.

Watching Liu Bian mature day by day, I am really satisfied.And he can stand in front of me today to defend Liu Xie, which also proves that I didn't save the wrong person back then!A gentleman never thinks of old evils. Even though Liu Xie almost killed Liu Bian, Liu Bian still regards him as his younger brother. Not everyone can possess this kind of bearing.To put it bluntly, it's okay to be stupid.However, I appreciate it!

Appreciation is appreciation, this person Liu Xie must not get under my hands.With his unwillingness to be lonely, he would cause trouble no matter where he is. I don't have the patience of Cao.I looked at Liu Bian for a while, and just when he couldn't stand the oppression in the air, I suddenly laughed and said, "Bian'er is still so kind, it hasn't changed at all, but do you think Liu Xie will be honest when he arrives in Luoyang?"

"This!" Liu Bian hesitated.Luoyang and even the entire Si Bingliang and Youji have his hard work. With Liu Xie's character, fighting for power and profit is always above everything else!He didn't want his younger brother to suffer, and he didn't want his hard work to be ruined.And Liu Bian also understands that I am more ruthless than Cao.Liu Xie offended Cao, Cao didn't dare to do anything to him, but if Liu Xie offended me, my butcher knife doesn't know anyone.As for letting Liu Xie give up fighting for power and profit, Liu Bian never thought about it.

I patted Liu Bian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Cao Mengde is not stupid. He doesn't even bother to destroy the city wall. No matter how big Liu Xie's troubles are, at least he can save his life. If I destroy Cao Now, his character can be smoothed out, I will not be against him, and I will even send someone to save him. But if..."

Liu Bian understood me very well. He knew that instead of letting me kill Liu Xie, it would be better to let Cao kill him, or let him fend for himself.Liu Bian was a little bit disappointed, but nine out of ten things were not as expected, if Liu Xie could let go of his power, maybe it wasn't Liu Bian who I rescued back then.Looking at Liu Bian's slightly frail figure, I couldn't help shaking my head, I'm already in my thirties, and still so naive.There are many people in this world who don't look back until they hit the south wall, and there are still many people who, even if they hit the south wall, as long as they don't die, they won't stop!There is no doubt that Liu Xie is an immortal person.Otherwise, he would not always want others to send troops to help him, no matter Liu Bei or Sun Quan, if Liu Xie were in their hands, how much better would it be than in Cao's hands?The struggle for power often causes father and son to fight each other. Just because a big man is still what the people want, it is not a dream to want Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao to hand over their rights.Take other people's, use other people's, eat other people's, and finally ask others to hand over all their property. When the imperial power has not declined, maybe this kind of robbery can still be supported, but now the imperial power is declining and the regime is changing. It's all empty talk.

After ignoring the conflict between Cao and Liu Xie and sending Liu Bian away, I came to the Ministry of Industry again. Recently, two old Taoist priests and I were researching gunpowder.To be honest, I heard that gunpowder is very easy to make, such as mononitrate, disulfide and three charcoal, but the things produced are not satisfactory.If the amount is small, it will not be strong enough to fry, and if the amount is large, it is not easy to carry.After all, this thing can't stand moisture. I really don't know how to deal with it other than wrapping it in kraft paper in the Han Dynasty.Could it be that gunpowder is filled in wooden barrels to make giant bombs?This is too wasteful, too embarrassing to the time traveler.As for the bombs made of iron shells, they often fail to explode, and sometimes only explode in two halves, which also makes me very headache.However, the two old Taoist priests were very happy. They showed great interest in making gunpowder and other chemical reactions. The most powerful one was Yu Ji. He even dared to put the gunpowder in his mouth to taste it. I don't know if his stomach is different, or his resistance to poison is stronger.Every time I see him put things like cinnabar and mercury into his mouth, I feel a little shuddering.Finally, I made up my mind not to let people around me come into contact with it, so as not to be poisoned!
