Can I get to the other side?

Xun Yu never expected that he rushed here desperately after getting the news, but he was still a step late.

Cao Cao actually killed Yang Biao, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng!

A moment later, Xun You also came late, and was also frightened by the bloody scene in the courtyard. His eyes fell on Cao Cao with blood on his hands, and his expression was incredible.

"Sikong... why did you do this?"

Even if Yang Biao didn't let Yang Xiu participate in the discussion, he couldn't kill people, right?

Killing Yang Biao was troublesome enough, why did he kill Dong Cheng and Fu Wan!

This must be a poke at the sky!

"I didn't kill anyone!"

Cao Cao tried to defend himself, and his forehead was throbbing with anger.

He didn't kill anyone just now, but now he was so frustrated that he wanted to kill someone!

Xun Yu would never believe his words, and said with a sad face: "Mingsong, Dong Cheng is an ambitious man, let's forget about it. But Fu Gong and Yang Gong are old ministers of the Han Dynasty!"

"As a minister of the Han Dynasty, how can you do such a cruel thing? If you murder loyal people, you will be scolded by the world!"

Listening to Xun Yu's scolding, Cao Cao knew that he was now in a state of mud, and he was either shit or shit, so he simply threw away the sword in his hand, kept silent, and did not make any excuses.

When Dong Cheng and Fu Wan woke up, everything would be clear.

Now the only thing that worried him was Yang Biao.

Yang Biao was old, and he hit his head against the wall and broke his head. It was hard to say whether he could wake up.

Seeing Cao Cao's silence, Xun Yu became even more angry. When he wanted to further criticize his behavior, Xu You on the side spoke impatiently.

"That's enough! Shut up!"

Yang Biao's banging against the wall already made Xu You in a bad mood, so how could he tolerate Xun Yu buzzing like a fly? He couldn't stand him preaching and accusing here as a loyal minister. Even if he was going to preach and accuse, he, a true loyal minister, should do it!

"What I hate most in my life is hypocrites like you who are sanctimonious and only stand on the moral high ground and point fingers all day long."

"You claim to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, so why don't you go to Yecheng to assist the emperor? If I remember correctly, your brother Xun Chen often wrote to you to go there."

"If you think the emperor of Xu County is orthodox, then you can assist him. In this way, I think highly of you and believe that you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."

"But you neither go to Yecheng nor assist the false emperor, but stay under Aman. How dare you say such things? How dare you call yourself a loyal minister?!"

"It's ridiculous!"

After these words came out, Xun Yu's face turned into a liver color, and his fingers trembled as he pointed at Xu You.

"You——!"

Cao Cao and Xun You were even more stunned.

Is it okay to say such words?

There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts, but it's different when they say it out loud. Xu You is completely slapping Xun Yu in the face!

Xu Chu, who was standing beside him, nodded approvingly after hearing this and echoed: "Well, you're right. I also think Xun Yu is not a real person."

He had been very unhappy with Xun Yu for a long time. Xu You simply scolded him out of his heart. He was worthy of being a member of their Xu family, and he was honest.

"Shut up!" Cao Cao glared at Xu Chu fiercely, and then frowned and scolded Xu You: "Ziyuan! How can you say that about Wen Ruo? Apologize to Wen Ruo quickly!"

Although he said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but cheer for Xu You in his heart-good brother! The scolding was so right!

Xun Yu was too twisted.

If Cao Cao didn't really value his talent and the family behind him, he would never use him.

Xu You snorted coldly and turned his head away without paying attention to Cao Cao.

Xun Yu's face turned pale and blue, and he was almost ready to open a dyeing factory. He was in a dilemma, neither leaving nor staying.

Just when the atmosphere on the scene was extremely awkward, the medical officer came over, with a look of excitement on his face as if he had survived a disaster.

"Sikong! Yang Gong is fine, he just hit his head and fainted. Dong Gong and Fu Gong are fine."

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xu You was so surprised that he almost jumped up on the spot.

Cao Cao almost shed tears.

God has mercy on him. The old man Yang Biao is not dead, and Fu Wan and Dong Cheng are just unconscious. If these three old men are in trouble, he really can't wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

"Go and call more people over and treat them well!"

The medical officer nodded quickly and trotted out of the yard.

Cao Cao also said to Xun Yu and Xun You: "Wen Ruo, Gong Da, you should go with them, and call more people."

Xu You's words just now directly tore the face, and it was too embarrassing for Xun Yu and Xun You to stay.

Xun Yu also understood Cao Cao's meaning, and took advantage of the situation to turn around and quietly left the yard with Xun You.

After the two left, Cao Cao sighed to Xu You: "Ziyuan, you are too harsh. After this incident, I am afraid that Xun Yu and Xun You will be completely disgusted."

Xu You said nonchalantly: "It's disgusting, so what? I just can't stand that hypocrite pointing fingers at you."

Cao Cao looked helpless, but he felt comfortable in his heart.

It is worthy of being a close friend since childhood!

The elbow is towards him!

Feeling happy in his heart, Cao Cao put aside the matter and asked with some concern: "Ziyuan, what do you think we should do now?"

"The old guy Yang Biao refuses to cooperate with me and wants to die. It is unlikely that he will report my loyalty to the emperor."

He finally saw that Yang Biao was too fierce and not afraid of death. It was completely impossible for Yang Biao to cooperate with him.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long term."

Xu You frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "In short, no matter what happens to Yang Biao, Ah Hao, you must never do anything to him again, let alone let anything happen to him!"

Xu You emphasized the last sentence.

Cao Cao's face turned dark. When did he have the idea of ​​killing Yang Biao?

It can be seen that Xu You clearly didn't believe it, so he gave up his defense, nodded helplessly, and agreed perfunctorily.

Xu You then said: "Ah, you should go back first. There will be too many people and it won't be good for you to stay. I will just watch here. I will inform you if there is any news."

"good."

Cao Cao felt that what Xu You said made sense, so he turned to Xu Chu and said, "Follow Ziyuan, follow his orders, and lead troops to guard the entire Yang Mansion. Don't let others talk nonsense."

"promise!"

After Cao Cao left, the medical officer came back not long after, bringing many helpers and medical officers with him and getting busy in the yard.

Xu Chu slapped Xu You on the shoulder and smiled at him: "You are quite a nice person and your temper is to my liking. Let's drink together when you have time."

"Are you okay with drinking?"

Xu You glanced at Xu Chu. Although this big man was strong, his ability to drink did not mean he was strong.

"Hey! I can't drink enough? Like my lord, I can drink ten of them!"

Xu Chu was unconvinced and insisted on dragging Xu You to have a drink.

Whoever loses will call the other person big brother.

While the two were chatting, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng gradually woke up.

After making a fuss for a while, it was determined that Yang Biao had really just fainted, and then he left the Yang Mansion and went home.

Xu You, on the other hand, has always been by Yang Biao's side.

…

The next morning, Xu You, who was dozing by the bed, saw Yang Biao slowly wake up. He suddenly lost all sleepiness and showed a look of surprise.

"Mr. Yang, you are finally awake!"

Yang Biao, who was lying on the bed, reluctantly opened his groggy eyes. When he raised his head and saw Xu You, his expression suddenly changed.

"Why are you here?"

He remembered that in order to achieve his reputation of loyalty, he bumped his head against the wall. Why was he not dead yet?

Yang Biao wanted to sit up, but he felt severe pain coming from his head, so he couldn't help but lay back and covered his head with his hands.

"Mr. Yang, don't move!"

Xu You quickly pressed Yang Biao on the bed and said: "Although Mr. Yang is not in danger of life, the injury is not serious for your age. You must take good care of yourself in the next month or two."

Yang Biao had a splitting headache, but his sense was still there. He gritted his teeth and slapped Xu You's hand away, cursing: "You traitor, get out of here!"

"Hey! Mr. Yang's words are wrong." Xu You was not annoyed at all after being scolded. He lowered his head and whispered in Yang Biao's ear: "Actually, I am also an internal agent sent by His Majesty!"

When Yang Biao heard this, his eyes widened suddenly and he looked at Xu You in shock.

His Majesty's...inside agent?

Xu You was not surprised by Yang Biao's reaction, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Mr. Yang doesn't know that I am also responsible for your majesty's escape from Yuan Shao's control."

"The reason why I came to Cao Cao is that I received your Majesty's secret order. I will cooperate internally and externally to welcome the arrival of His Majesty's army."

"Earlier, I thought that Duke Yang was a traitor loyal to the false emperor, so I wanted to use Cao Cao's help to get rid of you, but I didn't expect that Duke Yang was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who succumbed to the traitor camp."

"Mr. Yang betrayed the Emperor and sent His Majesty to Yecheng. It's really admirable!"

After knowing what Yang Biao had done, Xu You no longer had any worries and directly showed his cards to reveal his identity.

When Yang Biao heard this, he felt that his thoughts were confused again.

Xu Youxian was Yuan Shao's counselor, but he betrayed Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao.

But now he was told that all this was just an appearance.

He is actually the emperor's man!

The water here... is so deep!

Yang Biao barely suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly: "How can I trust you? Could it be that you teamed up with Cao Cao to lie to me."

He only believed half of Xu You's words and was more skeptical.

Xu You said: "Mr. Yang must have heard about Jia Wenhe instigating Yuan Xi to kill Yuan Shao, but this matter was actually a joint effort between Wenhe and I. We are both loyal ministers to His Majesty."

"If this were not the case, how could we dare to betray Yuan Shao? What good would this do to us? If not for His Majesty's orders, how could I kill Yuan Shao's confidants and surrender to Cao Cao?"

Yang Biao had no expression on his face, but his heart was full of emotions!

He was not a fool. When Xu You said this, he understood the key and could tell whether it was the truth or a lie.

Smart people like Xu You and Jia Xu would not easily turn against Yuan Shao. Only when the retreat is stable enough and the benefits are large enough can they take risks.

And the temptation of assisting the emperor and being a hero from the dragon is completely enough!

He never expected that the emperor of Yecheng would have such means. Even Yuan Xi's assassination of Yuan Shao was his own plan. The key is that outsiders didn't know it at all!

Seeing that Yang Biao was silent, Xu You said again: "Young Master Yang does not need to sacrifice his life to repay the king's heart. Only you and I can stir up trouble in Xu County."

Yang Biao remained silent, but his thoughts changed rapidly.

"Xu You also thought that I secretly sent the emperor to Yecheng... This is an opportunity that can be used. If I cooperate with Xu You, the emperor will know my loyalty, I will not have to die, and the Yang family will still be able to prosper. !”

He had no choice before, he could only die to show his loyalty, but now it is undoubtedly a better choice to work with Xu You, one in the open and one in the dark.

After a brief thought, Yang Biao showed his acting skills honed in the court for many years, and said with emotion:

"I never thought that you are also the inner support of His Majesty. In this case... we will work together in the future."

"Good!" Xu You was overjoyed, holding Yang Biao's hand and smiling: "Mr. Yang, please rest assured to recuperate during this period. If there is any need for your help in the future, I will come to you."

"Okay."

Yang Biao felt relieved and agreed.

Xu You then got up and left with satisfaction.

Xu Chu, who was waiting outside the courtyard, saw Xu You coming out of the wing room and couldn't help asking, "Is the old man awake?"

"Finally, he is awake. If he doesn't wake up, Ah Man will be anxious." Xu You walked up to Xu Chu, hooked his shoulder, and said in a madman style, "Let's drink, I'll treat you!"

"But the lord asked me..."

"What lord, the old man is awake, why are you still looking at him? Let's drink!"

"Okay! I'll listen to you."

...

Yecheng.

Before the seventh hour of the night, the sound of gongs and drums sounded.

At this time, a group of ministers in Tai'an Hall had been waiting for a long time.

Liu Xie arrived at Tai'an Hall in a grand manner, surrounded by the attendants, the middle attendants, the attendants of the imperial guards, the eunuchs, and the eunuchs.

After several remonstrations from Kong Rong, he started his true life as an emperor - attending court and reviewing memorials.

Today was the first court meeting that truly belonged to Yuan Shao after he left Yecheng.

Entering the Tai'an Palace, Liu Xie, wearing a royal robe and a crown, sat on the dragon throne, looking at the ministers who took off their shoes and walked quickly, a little dazed.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

The court officials, led by Kong Rong, knelt down and saluted.

This was the first time Liu Xie had seen such a scene.

He had attended court several times before under Yuan Shao's hostage.

But how could Yuan Shao's men kneel down and submit sincerely?

He took a deep breath, and felt a great passion in his heart, and waved his sleeves with high spirits.

"My dear ministers, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the court officials stood up, they knelt down in order according to their rank.

As soon as he sat down, Guo Jia stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Approved!"

Guo Jia held a secret letter in both hands and said, "News came from Xu County that Cao Cao led armored soldiers to break into the residence of Taiwei Yang Biao and forced Yang Gong to reveal the accomplices who secretly sent Your Majesty to Yecheng. Yang Gong refused and hit the wall to commit suicide. Fortunately, he was treated in time and his life was not in danger."

As soon as the voice fell, the entire Tai'an Hall was in an uproar.

Kong Rong, Zhang Liao, Xun Chen, Sima Yi and others were full of horror on their faces. They never thought that Cao Cao would dare to force the three officials.

At the same time, they suddenly realized that the emperor had fled to Yecheng. It turned out that Yang Biao was helping behind the scenes.

Kong Rong, who had already served as Taichang, was shocked when he heard this, and he almost completely confirmed Liu Xie's identity as the orthodox emperor.

Yang Xiu on the side gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Cao Cao is indeed a traitor and a villain, so domineering!"

This statement immediately aroused the second opinion of all the ministers, and they followed suit and cursed Cao Cao.

Liu Xie took the secret letter from Guo Jia, unfolded it, and then he knew the whole story.

He thought to himself: "What a pity!"

"If Yang Biao is really dead, there will be no evidence, and my position as the emperor will be confirmed."

"Xu You mistakenly thought that Yang Biao was the one who sent me to Yecheng, and he also deliberately described in the letter how he urged Cao Cao not to kill Yang Biao. Is this to take credit from me!"

While Liu Xie was regretful, he wanted to point at Xu You's nose and curse.

He is a typical example of doing good things with bad intentions!

If he persuaded Cao Cao to kill Yang Biao, let alone Shangshu Ling, he could choose any of the three officials!

Putting away the secret letter, Liu Xie looked down at the ministers in Tai'an Hall and decided to confirm Yang Biao's merits.

He began to show off his increasingly superb acting skills.

"I originally thought that when I escaped, it was the will of heaven and the blessing of my ancestors. I never thought that Yang Gong also helped me secretly. I will always remember this achievement in my heart."

"In the past two years, Yang Gong has been in the bandit camp and pretended to be in harmony with Cao. But he was still bullied by treacherous officials and forced to die to show his will! I feel very ashamed!"

"Pass on my decree and confer the title of Loyalty Marquis on Yang Biao!"

Yang Xiu, who was kneeling on the right side of Guo Jia, was overjoyed when he heard the emperor's words.

It turned out that the person who secretly sent the emperor to Yecheng was not Fu Wan or Dong Cheng, but his father Yang Biao!

"I told you so! Fu Wan was cowardly and greedy for life, and Dong Cheng had ill intentions and wanted to control the government. Neither of them would take the risk to secretly replace the emperor. It turns out that all this was masterminded by my father behind the scenes!"

"I remember that when we passed through Huayin, my father and the emperor disappeared for a while. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I think that my father must have replaced the emperor at that time."

Yang Xiu was quick-witted and instantly perfected in his mind how his father had foresight, how he replaced the emperor, and how he humbled himself in Xu County and pretended to be with Cao Cao.

For a moment, his admiration for Yang Biao reached an unprecedented height.

After Yang Biao's incident, the court meeting entered the real theme.

In the nearly two-hour court meeting, Liu Xie and his ministers finalized how to govern Yecheng, how to maintain public order, how to expand fiscal revenue, and how to use Yecheng as a foundation to return the surrounding counties to Han territory.

After recovering the surrounding counties, how should they be governed and who should be sent to govern them?

These are some big and small issues that would make ordinary people feel dizzy.

But under the discussion of Guo Jia, Sima Yi, Kong Rong, Xun Chen, Cui Yan, and Yang Xiu, they were able to quickly come up with a series of plans that Liu Xie believed were completely feasible.

He felt a sense of emotion in his heart: "How can these people be recorded in history? Although I come from the future, I have a forward-looking vision and have been studying hard in the past two years. But compared with them, I am still far behind."

After the court meeting, Guo Jia privately asked to see Liu Xie again.

"Your Majesty, three thousand double stirrups, ten thousand horseshoes, and two thousand third-class armor have been delivered to Youzhou, and exchanged for ten thousand war horses from Gongsun Zan."

"Five thousand horses have been delivered so far, and the remaining five thousand horses will have to wait for some time."

Zhen and Gongsun Zan were both very satisfied with the transaction.

To the Zhen family, the double saddle and horseshoe were not worth much at all, but were made of some waste materials for making weapons and armor.

As for the third-class armor, it might be a good armor in the eyes of the world.

But in the eyes of the Zhen family, it was just a piece of scrap copper and iron.

Now the armor they supply to Lu Bu has been completely upgraded to the second-class armor.

Even the output of the first-class armor is not as scarce as before.

For Gongsun Zan, the thing he lacks the least is war horses.

As long as he goes to the grassland for a walk, he can easily bring back hundreds or thousands of horses.

Although 10,000 war horses are many, it is just a matter of going a few more times.

At most one year, he can make up for the remaining 5,000 horses.

Liu Xie nodded and said: "The recovery of Jizhou is imminent, and these 5,000 war horses will be transported to Yecheng to enrich the Yulin Guard."

The Yulin Guard, also known as the Yulin Cavalry, is a serious cavalry.

But among the Yulin Guards under Liu Xie, only some middle and high-level generals such as Zhang He and Gao Lan had mounts.

The rest were pure infantry.

It can be said that they were not worthy of the name.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "I also have this idea. With these three thousand Yulin cavalry, as long as Yuan Shao still cares about Yecheng, as long as he steps into the game, he will definitely be unable to return!"

Liu Xie said with expectation: "Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, and three days later will be the day when Yuan Xi ambushed Zhang Liao and seized the military power. I hope Yuan Shao will not miss this great opportunity!"
