Can I get to the other side?

"The fish you want!"

Ju Shou casually threw the green crucian carp over, and then stood there expressionlessly.

He wanted to see what tricks this guy would play?

How else would he humiliate him!

Liu Xie was panting while making a fire, and when he saw Ju Shou had caught a fish, he turned to Zhang He and others and said, "Tie him up, and you retreat a hundred steps away."

"Your Majesty..."

Zhang He was a little worried, but Liu Xie just glanced at him, and he immediately fell silent, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and tied Ju Shou's hands and feet with his own hands.

Even so, he was still not at ease, so he searched Ju Shou's body again and confirmed that there were no dangerous items, and then retreated a hundred steps away with everyone else.

Ju Shou did not resist from beginning to end.

Not to mention that he had no chance to kill Liu Xie, he would not dare to do so even if he had the chance.

After Liu Xie made a good fire, he took out a dagger from his arms, stood up and walked towards the tied Ju Shou, and then... picked up the fish next to him.

"Green crucian carp?"

"Green crucian carp is good, Qing means Qingzhou, and crucian carp means Jizhou. If you catch a green crucian carp, it means that Qingzhou and Jizhou will return to Han territory."

Ju Shou heard this and snorted coldly: "You are just showing off your eloquence!"

Liu Xie smiled and didn't care about Ju Shou's attitude.

He skillfully gutted the green crucian carp, cleaned it, found a branch to plug it, and roasted it on the fire.

Seeing Liu Xie grilling fish by himself, Ju Shou couldn't help but sneered: "You have endured until now, and have developed to this point. I thought you were a great man, but now it seems that you are just so-so."

"I am already your prisoner, you can kill me if you want. If it is just to persuade me to surrender, then there is no need!"

After Liu Xie turned the fish over, he glanced at Ju Shou and said lightly: "Persuade to surrender? Don't overestimate yourself."

"You, Ju Shou, do have some talents, but it is not worth my trouble to persuade you to surrender. I want to eat fish just because I am in a whim, what does it have to do with you?"

Ju Shou became more and more angry, but considering those people a hundred steps away, he did not dare to speak too loudly, and could only He growled, "I! I! I! I! You dog-foot I!"

"You are nothing but a dog-legged pariah! Do you really think you are the emperor? The real emperor is in Xu County! You have neither Yang Biao, Fu Wan and other important officials of the court around you, nor concubines in the harem to support you. Now if even the general does not support you, what do you think you are!"

"You are in glory now, but this is only because the general is fighting against Gongsun Zan and cannot spare his hands to deal with you!"

"You have exposed your ambition in the battle yesterday. The general will not be deceived by you again. It will be your doom after repelling Gongsun Zan!"

Although Yuan Shao lost 15,000 troops in the battle of Yecheng, he did not hurt his foundation.

Moreover, what is the territory occupied by Liu Xie compared with the entire three states?

Although Lu Bu's troops are strong, they are far away in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and are separated from Jizhou by Qingzhou and Yanzhou, so they cannot attack at all.

Liu Xie is like a rootless water in Jizhou!

When Gongsun Zan is defeated, Yuan Shao can mobilize all his troops to attack Yecheng. How long can Yecheng's 20,000 troops resist?

"Yes, what you said makes sense."

Liu Xie turned the grilled fish in his hand and looked at Ju Su with a playful face.

"If you were my minister, would you let Yuan Shao gather troops to attack Yecheng so easily?"

Ju Su's face changed slightly, staring at Liu Xie and said, "What do you mean?"

He felt the same uneasiness as when he was ambushed yesterday - because he discovered something, something he had always ignored.

Liu Xie... why did he stay in Yecheng?

After this boy got rid of the clamp and took control of Yecheng, the wisest choice was to leave Jizhou and go to Xuzhou or Yangzhou where Lu Bu was.

But he stayed!

Looking at the green crucian carp that was gradually emitting fragrance, Ju Su suddenly had a blessing.

His goal was Jizhou!

Liu Xie said calmly, "Do you know why Gongsun Zan could fight Yuan Shao for so long?"

Ju Su asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

This was also what he had always wondered about. Gongsun Zan had been fighting from the beginning of this year to now, and it had been half a year, but he still showed no signs of decline.

This was unimaginable in the past. Youzhou was not Jizhou. Where did Gongsun Zan get the capital to fight such a long battle?

What puzzled him even more was the excellent weapons and equipment of Gongsun Zan's army.

"Because of me." Liu Xie pointed at himself and said, "I sent Jia Xu to join Gongsun Zan and let him instigate Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou."

Ju Su was shocked when he heard this.

"Yuan Xi killed his brother and imprisoned his father. Is it also related to you?"

Liu Xie nodded without comment.

After receiving the reply, Ju Su felt cold all over.

In less than three years, this boy secretly subdued Zhang He and Gao Lan who were monitoring him, as well as Guo Jia, who was quite talented but not valued by Yuan Shao.

He even made Jia Xu work for him!

He killed his brother and imprisoned his father, drove Yuan Shao out of Yecheng, and completely got rid of his puppet body, and even took power, planning the current good situation.

When no one noticed, he hid behind the scenes and changed the world.

Such scheming and such means really made people admire and shudder at the same time.

Liu Xie continued: "I also ordered the Zhen family and the Mi family to secretly support Gongsun Zan, so that he could tie up Yuan Shao's army and not give Yuan Shao any chance to escape."

Jushou said in disbelief: "When did you win over Zhen? Zhen is a wealthy businessman in the world, how could he be won over by you? You are just a fake-"

He stopped mid-sentence.

Zhen... didn't know that Liu Xie was a false emperor.

Jushu's face was extremely ugly, "At first, the Zhen daughter was supposed to marry Yuan Xi, but later the prophecy that she had a phoenix life caused a storm in the city. Due to the bad influence of Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor, the lord had no choice but to send the Zhen daughter to the palace.

If my prediction is correct, these were all done by Guo Fengxiao who worked for Yuan Shang? "

Liu Xie gave Ju Shou a thumbs up and praised: "Gong Yu is indeed very intelligent, you can see this."

Jushou was very angry. He couldn't see it at the time, so what's the use of seeing it now?

He took a deep breath and said, "What's the matter even with the support of the Zhen family? Gongsun Zan is just difficult to deal with, not invincible. As long as the general mobilizes the troops from Bingzhou and Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan will be defeated in an instant!"

Liu Xie nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"So as long as the troops in Bingzhou and Qingzhou cannot move without permission, even if they do, they can only mobilize part of them."

"Otherwise, why do you think Xu You would seek refuge with Cao Cao?"

"There is also Gao Gan, do you think I will let him capture Yizhou easily? While Gao Gan went to Yizhou, I also sent Liu Bei to go secretly."

"Yuan Shao is indeed a giant, but the bigger the thing, the more flaws it has."

"This is his weakness."

When Jushou heard this, his back was already wet with sweat.

At this time, his thinking was clearer than ever.

All the connections are clear at this moment.

Xu You is Liu Xie's man, and he went to Cao Cao to provide support. As long as Qingzhou's troops dare to move without permission, Xu You will instigate Cao Cao to send troops to attack.

There is Liu Bei in Yizhou, and senior officials cannot leave at will, otherwise their plans to plot Yizhou will directly fail, and Liu Bei will not let him leave.

Without the support of all the troops in Qingzhou and Bingzhou, Yuan Shao would not be able to defeat Gongsun Zan with the support of the Zhen family in one go, and could only be constantly restrained and delayed.

He could even guess what Liu Xie would do next - take advantage of Yuan Shao's inability to take care of him, use Yecheng as the foundation to encroach on Jizhou's territory, and then cooperate with Lu Bu to capture Qingzhou and combine Ji, Qing, Xu , Yangzhou and the four states are connected together, opening up the north and south!

At this point, it is expected that the foundation of Emperor Guangwu will be achieved.

"You, the false emperor, are so scheming and resourceful. I should have strangled you to death in this river in the first place!"

Jushou cursed angrily with hatred.

Liu Xie's plan far exceeded his expectations. Every move was planned and made. Every move seemed unrelated, but in fact it was closely linked.

Now the whole chess game is completely alive!

On the other hand, Yuan Shao is now slowly stepping into the trap set by Liu Xie. He is ready to slay the dragon, and Yuan Shao is the dragon that will be slain!

Once Yuan Shao is defeated, then Liu Xie will control half of the country, and he will be able to dominate the world. Becoming the true emperor is by no means empty talk!

He never thought that a homeless man he picked up casually could be so scheming. He shouldn't have gone out of the city to catch that damn fish that day!

"Fake emperor?" Liu Xie sneered, stared at Jushou, and said word by word: "You still think that I am a refugee?"

This short sentence fell in Jushou's ears like a bolt from the blue, making his mind go blank and his ears buzzing.

He shook his head vigorously and said sternly: "Impossible, you can't lie to me! I picked you up with my own hands, and your handwriting is so ugly. How can you be the real emperor!"

"You are the dog-footed one!"

"You are a false emperor!"

"You're fake!"

Jushou was extremely excited, but he couldn't help but start to panic and start thinking wildly.

He has white skin and tender flesh, is proficient in acting, has such scheming skills, and looks exactly like the real emperor. He just happened to meet him outside Yecheng...

"It's sad, Gongyu."

Liu Xie looked at Jushou with pity and said, "How do you know that being ugly is not part of my plan?"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of gravel and wrote the word "汉" on the ground.

At this moment, Jushou's expression was dull.

There was a broken sound in the trance.

That was the last line of defense in his mind.

The word "ugly" is all disguised and part of the plan.

"Now that things have happened, I don't need to lie to you anymore. I'll just tell you some heartfelt words. I've been holding these words in my heart for a long time."

Liu Xie looked at the gurgling river beside him, his eyes far-reaching, as if he was recalling the past.

"That year the traitors were in chaos and Dong Zhuo was riding on the emperor's head to dominate. I saw with my own eyes that the emperor sat slumped on the dragon throne and burst into tears."

"That scene is something I will never forget."

"At that time, I was thinking that if I had a chance, I would win everything! I would imitate Emperor Guangwu and rebuild the glory of the Han Dynasty."

"Later, the emperor brother was deposed, and Thief Dong made me the new emperor. His power was overwhelming, and I could only endure it again and again. It was not until I escaped from Chang'an that I saw a real turning point."

Liu Xie's eyes gradually glowed with light, and his tone became a little excited.

"When I was passing by Hongnong, I found a person who looked exactly like me."

"At that time, I had already noticed that Han Xian had different intentions. Even if he returned to Luoyang, he would still be controlled by him. Even Dong Cheng wanted to dominate the government and wanted to call Cao Cao to eradicate dissidents in the name of paying tribute."

"Later, Yang Gong helped me escape to Yecheng secretly."

"Then we met."

"I used the identity of a fake emperor as a cover to secretly develop in Jizhou, where there are many factions. This is of course very risky, but it is much better than being controlled by Han Xian and Cao Cao."

"As long as Yuan Shao's foundation can be restored to the Han Dynasty, I will have the strength to restore order."

"The opportunity to rebuild Yanhan is right in front of me, and I must consider whether this will be the only chance in my life."

"I have no choice but to rebuild the glory of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Xie's words were sonorous and powerful!

After listening to this, Ju Su's face turned pale, his body was shaky, and he could hardly stand.

The truths Liu Xie said brought him too much shock.

He could never have thought that the fake emperor he had always thought of was actually the real emperor!

Even he was just a part of Liu Xie's plan!

Ju Su muttered to himself absentmindedly: "I should have thought of it earlier, I should have thought of it earlier. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world..."

He once suspected that Liu Xie might be the real emperor, but all kinds of evidence showed that he was not.

But he never thought that these evidences might also be intentional by Liu Xie?

What he thought, was it really what he thought?

Ju Su looked at Liu Xie with extremely complicated eyes, and his voice was extremely dry.

"Why do you tell me these truths?"

"Do you just want me to die with a clear mind?"

He knew that with Liu Xie's character, it was impossible for him to say so much to a prisoner like him for no reason. He must have a purpose.

But what else is there for Liu Xie to plot against?

"I want you to do something." Liu Xie took the grilled fish off the fire, stood up and said, "I have told you the whole plan. With your intelligence, it is impossible for you not to see that Yuan Shao has fallen into a dead end."

"It is only a matter of time before Jizhou, Qingzhou and even Bingzhou return to Han territory."

"But I don't want to increase unnecessary casualties. I hope you can write a letter to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender. Let him give up resistance and surrender to me."

"Don't worry, although Yuan Shao's actions are enough to kill the whole family, as long as he is willing to surrender to me, I will only kill him and will not implicate the Yuan family. I will also reuse Yuan Xi."

In addition to returning the favor of a fish, this is another reason why Liu Xie brought Ju Su here.

First, recall the past with memories, then throw out his various plans, ignore the details, and create a false impression that Yuan Shao is doomed to die for Ju Su.

Then, without giving any time to think, he throws out the bombshell that he is the "true emperor", and attaches a flawed experience that cannot withstand scrutiny.

Finally, it was what he had been preparing for for a long time - persuading Yuan Shao to surrender!

However, all this was just a temporary idea after he saw Ju Su was captured. Whether he could deceive Ju Su was a question.

But what if it worked?

If Ju Su really wrote a letter to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender, and Yuan Shao listened to his advice, it would be a great celebration.

Ju Su was shaken when he heard this.

The man in front of him was a real emperor. From him, we can see the shadows of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Shizu Guangwu. No matter how you look at it, he is a great leader.

Looking back on the past, he did have the hope of restoring the Han Dynasty and rebuilding the glory of the Han Dynasty.

Then is there any need for them not to surrender?

After a long silence, Ju Su sighed heavily. He said, "Get paper and pen."

This sentence fell into Liu Xie's ears, which was no different from the sound of a fairy!

He immediately raised his hand to call Zhang He, who was not far away, to quickly get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and moved a table in front of Ju Su.

Ju Su let out a long breath and started writing.

Soon, a letter was written.

Liu Xie picked up the letter and read it carefully, and the joy in his heart almost overflowed!

This is really a letter of persuasion!

After putting the letter away, Liu Xie suppressed his excitement and placed the grilled fish in his hand and a dagger on the table in front of Ju Su.

"Gong Yu, try to see if my skill in grilling fish has become rusty?"

Looking at the dagger and grilled fish in front of him.

Ju Su smiled bitterly.

Grilled fish to repay kindness, dagger to commit suicide.

He and Yuan Shao were rebels who pretended to be the emperor and harbored evil intentions. The emperor would never tolerate them alive.

Death is the inevitable result.

Being able to let him commit suicide is considered to repay his kindness of a fish that year.

Ju Su picked up the grilled fish, ate it bit by bit and carefully, then grabbed the dagger, looked up at Liu Xie, and hesitated to speak.

Liu Xie knew what he meant and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children."

Ju Su was completely relieved. Just as he was about to stab the dagger into his heart, Liu Xie suddenly stepped forward.

"You——"

Liu Xie looked at Ju Su, a hint of complexity appeared in his dark eyes, and he spoke slowly.

"Are you willing to call me... Your Majesty now?"

Ju Su smiled with relief and shouted out the two words he had not been able to say two and a half years ago.

"Your Majesty."

"I, the guilty minister, thank your Majesty for your grace!"

I am updating a little slowly while sorting out the outline and adjusting my status. My dear ministers have been waiting for a long time.
