Can I get to the other side?

After Xu Chu left, Emperor Xian of Han trembled and walked out of the carriage. He looked at the corpses and blood on the ground outside the carriage and was so scared that he could hardly stand.

"What on earth does he want to do..."

At this time, Emperor Xian of Han was filled with fear and confusion.

Why did Xu Chu come and kill the Tai'an garrison commander and the people who escorted him, but didn't kill him?

What does this mean?

Emperor Xian of Han looked at the back of Xu Chu leading his troops away, and wanted to chase him and ask, but he was afraid, so he finally gave up the idea.

After leaning on the carriage for a long time, Emperor Xian of Han hardened his heart, returned to the carriage, dragged out the bodies of the two maids, and then clumsily drove the carriage and continued along the official road.

Except for Cao Cao, he had no way to go. No matter what, he must return to Xu County!

Cao Cao was the first vassal to welcome him to move the capital, and he acknowledged his identity to the world.

Anyone can say that he is a false emperor, but Cao Cao cannot!

He was sure that Cao Cao would never dare to kill him, otherwise Xu Chu would have killed him together.

…

Three days later, Dingtao County, the seat of Jiyin County.

“Finally I saw the city!”

Emperor Xian of Han looked at the city not far away, and couldn’t help but feel excited. He could finally find a place to rest!

But when Emperor Xian of Han approached Dingtao County, he was stunned.

Because the gate of the capital city in front of him was tightly closed, and there was no guard on the city wall, and there was no one.

“What’s going on? Where are the people?”

Emperor Xian of Han couldn’t help but frown when he saw this.

He stopped the carriage at the gate of the east city gate of Dingtao County, and then shouted loudly to the city wall: “Where is the Dingtao garrison? The emperor is coming, why don’t you go out of the city to greet him!”

There was still no response on the city wall.

No one even poked his head out.

Emperor Xian of Han was unwilling to give up, and shouted several times in succession, and even ran to the bottom of the city gate and slapped the city gate hard.

But until his hands were swollen, there was no response from inside the city gate, let alone people, not even a ghost could be seen.

"What is going on?"

Emperor Xian of Han was extremely puzzled. How could Dingtao County, as the seat of Jiyin, be empty? Could it be that there was a war, so everyone in the city abandoned the city and fled?

But he didn't see any soldiers along the way.

Although he was very depressed, the gate of Dingtao County was closed, and it seemed that there was no one inside, so Emperor Xian of Han couldn't get in.

So he could only choose to return to the carriage, turn around, and rush to the next city. Before leaving, he looked at Dingtao County reluctantly several times.

At this moment, on the city wall of Dingtao County.

All the defending soldiers were huddled under the parapets and trembling, and even the defender of Dingtao County was hiding here.

He stuck his head out and took a look. He was relieved when he saw the carriage of Emperor Xian of Han go far away, but he still reminded him: "Keep hiding. No one is allowed to show their heads without my order! Do you understand?"

Many soldiers agreed.

A deputy general couldn't help asking: "General, that's the emperor. Why should we refuse to let him in? This is disrespectful."

"Shut up! Who told you he is the emperor?"

The commander of Dingtao County glared at him and said with a straight face: "Sikong said that this is just a person who looks like the emperor!"

A few days ago, Xu Chu came with Cao Cao's handwritten order, telling him that if he encountered someone claiming to be the emperor and wanted to enter the city, he must not let him in, otherwise everyone from the garrison to the soldiers would be beheaded.

After hearing this order, he knew that the person who was coming might not be someone who looked like the emperor, but there was another hidden story. Otherwise, why didn't he just order the capture, but just refuse to let him out of the city?

But with the military order in hand, he didn't dare to open the city gate.

Fortunately, the plague god is finally gone now.

"Don't come again!"

The Dingtao garrison watched Emperor Xian of Han go away, still feeling frightened, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

...

A few days later, outside Chenliu City.

The hungry Emperor Xian of Han lay outside the closed gate of Chenliu County, patting the gate and shouting weakly: "Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"I am the Son of Heaven, I was once the King of Chenliu! Don't you recognize me? Open the door quickly."

"It doesn't matter who it is, can someone give me something to eat?"

The Emperor Xian of Han was so sad that he had no tears.

After leaving Dingtao County, he traveled for several days before arriving at Chenliu County, his former fiefdom.

I thought I could rest here, but I didn't expect that the gates here were also closed like Dingtao County, and it looked empty.

The food on the carriage had been eaten three days ago, so he had not eaten for three days. When he was hungry, he could only drink some mountain spring water to fill his stomach.

Now even the road was shaking.

Emperor Xian of Han knocked on the city gate for a long time. Seeing that no one answered, he got up with difficulty and staggered towards the carriage.

"Why, why don't you let me enter the city?"

"There are obviously people in the city!"

Emperor Xian of Han burst into tears.

In the absence of war and natural disasters, the gates of two cities were closed in succession. Even if he was a fool, he could guess that there was something strange.

Before he arrived at Chenliu County, he still saw smoke rising from the city, which meant that there were people in the city, but they didn't open the city gate for him, let alone let him enter the city!

But why is this happening!

He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty!

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. He is a great emperor, but now he can't even enter the city of the Han Dynasty?

Is there an emperor who knocks on the door in the world!

After crying for a long time, Emperor Xian of Han drove the carriage again and drove along the official road to Xu County.

"Xu County, it will be fine when we get to Xu County..."

"Meng De will definitely accept me!"

Emperor Xian of Han drove the carriage while crying, and put all his hopes in Xu County and Cao Cao.

In this way, he drove for another day.

Then he had to stop.

Because he hadn't eaten for a long time, he had no strength in his body. Not to mention driving, even staying awake became a problem, and his eyes began to feel dizzy.

Emperor Xian of Han stopped the carriage by a small river, stretched his head into the river and drank some river water, but it was still difficult to suppress the hunger in his stomach.

He hadn't eaten a full meal for four days.

"I am the emperor, is it really possible that I will starve to death? In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, has there ever been an emperor who starved to death?"

Emperor Xian of Han leaned against the carriage and cried bitterly.

He cried and fainted.

Not far from him, Xu Chu was watching this scene secretly. He couldn't help but frowned and ordered the generals around him: "You, go catch a wild boar and send it over."

Cao Cao had ordered him to protect the safety of the emperor and not let the emperor die in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Now the emperor is about to starve to death, and he certainly can't sit idly by.

It's not okay to give dry food directly, which will expose their existence, so it's better to catch some prey and send it over.

"Ah? Me?"

The general who was pointed out by Xu Chu was confused. Where can he find a wild boar in this desolate mountain?

But Xu Chu's order was issued, and he couldn't disobey it, so he led a dozen soldiers to run deep into the mountains and forests.

After about half an hour, the general returned along the same route, carrying a wild boar that had been shot dead behind him - he actually hunted it.

The general and several others carried the wild boar to the side of Emperor Xian of Han's carriage, put it down, kicked the carriage hard, and ran away in a hurry.

At this time, Emperor Xian of Han, who was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, felt the vibration from the carriage behind him, opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at the other side of the carriage.

Then he couldn't help but widen his eyes instantly.

"Wild boar?!"

Emperor Xian of Han quickly got up from the ground, ran to the side of the wild boar, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

This is indeed a dead wild boar!

But... how could a dead wild boar suddenly appear?

Emperor Xian of Han looked at the carriage, then at the wild boar, and couldn't help but come up with a bold guess in his mind. He said excitedly: "In ancient times, people waited for rabbits by the tree stump, and now I wait for the boar by the carriage!"

"This wild boar must have been killed by the carriage!"

"God will not abandon me!"

"My great Han emperor has appeared!"

Emperor Xian of Han was so excited that he almost wanted to dance with joy.

Finally, there is something to eat!

Rolling up his sleeves, Emperor Xian of Han wanted to gnaw on the wild boar... Wait, gnaw?

Emperor Xian of Han was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the wild boar in front of him, which was black and hairy and exuded a fishy smell, and suddenly realized a problem.

Now there is food, but what to do with it?

The court etiquette didn't teach him this!

And he didn't even have a knife in his hand!

Thinking of this, Emperor Xian of Han could not help but feel sad. He seemed to have lost his strength again. He leaned on the carriage and cried, "What can I do? What can I do? Please show your power again, my former emperor..."

In the distant forest, Xu Chu's face darkened.

How could this bird emperor be so unbearable!

After cursing in his heart, Xu Chu again ordered the generals around him, "You, go and hunt two rabbits, roast them and send them over!"

"Me again?"

The generals looked bitter. Hunting in this mountain is really difficult. Wouldn't it be enough to just throw some dry food over?

But Xu Chu glared, so he could only honestly take the bow and arrow into the forest again. After another half an hour, he came back carrying a rabbit.

Then he skinned and cleaned the rabbit, and after making a fire and roasting it, he pierced it with an arrow and aimed it at the carriage not far away.

Then he shot an arrow!

The feather arrow nailed the rabbit to the carriage, which scared Emperor Xian of Han who was still crying.

He looked up and saw a roasted rabbit nailed to the carriage by a feather arrow, exuding an alluring aroma. He was dumbfounded.

"Where, where did the roasted rabbit come from?"

Emperor Xian of Han looked around, but did not find anyone, so he reached out to pull down the feather arrow and took a tentative bite of the rabbit meat.

It was indeed rabbit meat!

Emperor Xian of Han was extremely surprised and started to chew the rabbit while holding it. At the same time, he said excitedly: "It must be the spirit of my great Han emperor! My ancestors would not want to see me starve to death!"

First, it was a wild boar that was hit to death, and then a roasted rabbit.

Emperor Xian of Han felt that this must be the spirit of the ancestors!

While chewing the rabbit, Emperor Xian of Han began to recall his experiences during this period of time.

First, the mutiny in Xu County failed and he escaped successfully; then he was captured by Lu Bu, and the knife that cut through the pillar could not kill him.

When he was about to be escorted to Yecheng to be killed, Yuan Tan began to block Qingzhou, and the escort team was trapped in the mountains.

Just when Cao Xing, Wang Chong and others were about to kill him, Yuan Tan's personal guards arrived in time and rescued him.

Although it was dangerous so many times, they were all close calls. An ordinary person would have died a hundred times. How could he still be alive now?

It must be the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty who were protecting him!

"The sage has said that when heaven entrusts a great task to a person, he must first suffer his mental and mental hardships, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin. These are all tribulations before I can achieve great things!"

"The fact that I have survived so many times shows that I am the true destiny! How can the sword be more useful to me!"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was full of fighting spirit.

The roasted rabbit sent from the sky this time made him truly convinced that he was the one destined for destiny and was not comparable to the false emperor of Yecheng.

After eating half of the roast rabbit in his hand, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was still not full, but he did not dare to eat more for fear of filling his stomach.

Moreover, there were still several days of journey to Xu County, so he had to save some time. After all, he didn't know whether his ancestors would show up next.

Putting away the remaining half of the roasted rabbit, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty climbed back into the carriage and continued driving to Xu County.

…

Xu County, on the city wall.

Cao Cao and Xu You came to inspect the city defense together. At the same time, he couldn't help but said worriedly: "I don't know if the false emperor has left Yanzhou and Yuzhou now. Xu Chu has not yet received any news."

He only told Xu You about Emperor Xian of Han's return to Yanzhou.

Now Xu Chu has been away for many days and has never returned with a message, so he doesn't know whether Emperor Xian of Han has left Yuzhou and Yanzhou now.

Xu You said with a smile: "Ah Man, why worry? You have asked Xu Chu to send an order to all cities not to let the false emperor enter the city. Who dares to disobey?"

"The false emperor must have known what you meant when he saw this and chose to leave."

Xu You said this, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

He only found out about this not long ago.

Although he wanted to send people to capture or kill the false emperor secretly, Cao Cao sent Xu Chu to lead troops to protect him secretly, so he did not dare to act rashly.

"I hope so."

Cao Cao sighed. He finally sent the false emperor away, but he really didn't want this hot potato to come back again.

He, Cao Mengde, is a pure minister of the Han Dynasty!

This false emperor ruined his reputation!

Just when Cao Cao was thinking this, another soldier flew into the city, then hurried up the city wall and reported anxiously:

"Sikong! General Xu Chu asked me to come and report that the puppet emperor is coming to Xu County! He is already arriving outside the city!"

"What?!"

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked outside the city. Sure enough, he saw a luxurious carriage on the official road in the distance, speeding towards Xu County!

He seemed to see Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty driving a carriage waving his whip excitedly and waving to him.

"Quick, quick! Close the city gate!"

Cao Cao was very anxious and ordered in a panic.

At the same time, I felt extremely puzzled.

It's hundreds of miles from Tai'an to Xu County. How could this pseudo-emperor have such great perseverance and insist on returning to Xu County?

Come into your mother!

Why don't you go to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao!

Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and has always paid attention to red tape. How can he not support you?

He was panicking, but no matter what, he would never let the false emperor enter the city!

In the distance, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was very excited when he saw the wide-open Xu County City Gate, but when he saw people outside the city starting to pour into the city and the city gate began to slowly fall, he suddenly became anxious.

"I haven't entered the city yet! I haven't entered the city yet! Don't close the city gate!"

"Drive! Drive!"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty kept waving his whip and galloping towards the city gate.

He must enter the city!
