Chapter 149 Why Are You Two Silent?
An hour later, the palace.

Originally, the emperor Liu Xie should be in Luoyang.

But because Dong Zhuo burned down the ancient capital of Luoyang, the emperor was taken to Xudu.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes.

Today's son Liu Xie sat quietly on the dragon chair.

His eyes were blank and he didn't even know where to put his hands.

Looking at the court officials through the crown, no one is familiar with them.

Sad, sigh.

Liu Xie sighed helplessly.

Today is the day of Cao Cao's Duke Jin and Wei, and it should also be a harbinger before the complete demise of the Han Dynasty.

My puppet emperor is probably coming to an end soon.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie felt a little relieved.

Being a puppet emperor is really not as good as being a small commoner.

If it dies, it dies.

But the puppet emperor is not something you can die if you want, and there is no freedom at all.

All actions are followed by special personnel, who monitor their every move.

Looking at Cao Cao standing on the main hall not far away, Liu Xie felt a sense of powerlessness.

It's not that Liu Xie didn't resist.

In fact, Liu Xie has resisted from Dong Zhuo's disaster to the country to Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor to order the princes.

This Yidai Zhao is Liu Xie's last effort.

Han Chen's name was written all over the clothes belt edict.

But in the end?

The plan was revealed, and the ministers who left their names on the top died and surrendered.

In the end, they were even ashamed of leaving their name on the clothes belt edict, and they couldn't avoid it.

Since then, Liu Xie has really given up.

Every day is to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, the edict of the emperor is not his own meaning, even if it is his own order, no one follows it.

All along, he was alone, enduring endless pain.

Sometimes Liu Xie thought that if he could be freed, it would be a good thing for him.

Dahan Jiangshan, I really can't keep it.

The foundation of hundreds of years has been completely changed decades ago.

It cannot be restored by relying on one's own strength.

Think about the last emperor, Han Shaodi Liu Bian, what happened?
He was only in his teens, but he was given to death by Li Ru who brought poisoned wine.

I am lucky, but I am also unfortunate.

……

And these thoughts of Liu Xie, no one knows, and no one cares.

Today, there is only one person that all the ministers care about, and that is Cao Cao, the mighty prime minister who stands above the hall, wears a seven-star sword on his waist, and is dressed in armor.

However, there was one person who looked at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty through Cao Cao.

Among all the people present, this is the only one who understands the heart of Han Xiandi.

It was Bai Chuan.

However, Bai Chuan just felt that Liu Xie was pitiful.

In fact, Liu Xie's experience has confirmed that even if he ascends the throne, he will only be an ordinary emperor and will not make any great achievements.

Troubled times must come to an end.

At this moment, Cao Cao walked slowly to the center of the hall, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone!"

"From now on, I will be canonized as Duke Wei."

"It should be here, to reward you all, to reward you."

"But today is not the time!"

"Just now, I received the news that Zhou Yu was determined to lead the rest of the troops to attack Jingzhou."

"The situation is urgent, and I would like to invite you all to discuss this matter together today."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, all the officials whispered.

"Zhou Yu is so courageous! Jiangdong is about to fall, how dare he lead a group of soldiers with low morale to attack Jingzhou?"

"Little Zhou Yu, it's ridiculous!"

"Prime Minister, why should I be afraid of him? Let him attack, even if he leads those soldiers, he may not be able to break through Jingzhou's defense!"

"Yes! General Cao Ren is guarding Jingzhou!"

……

Hearing these people's words, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning slightly.

These people who speak are really short-sighted.

Zhou Yu is ridiculous?

Zhou Yu is not funny at all.

He made an extremely correct decision.

At this time, it is really difficult for me to lead the army back to the south.

There is only one reason, and that is Ma Teng.

Therefore, Jingzhou is in a state of no reinforcements.

Cao Ren had only 10,000+ soldiers under his command. If Jingzhou soldiers were instigated to rebel, Jingzhou would most likely be lost.

The loss of Jingzhou is not unacceptable to Cao Cao, but the price is too high.

"Everyone, is there a way to retreat from the enemy?"

Cao Cao spoke slowly, interrupting everyone's discussion.

In fact, Cao Cao planned to ask Bai Chuan first to see how Bai Chuan viewed this matter.

But if you think about it carefully, you're actually not that anxious.

It's just that today, Cao Cao asked the opinions of the ministers by the way.

After all, Zhou Yu's soldiers had just lost a battle. Even if they led the army to leave, they knew very well that Jiangdong would fall completely within a month.

With these soldiers, it is really difficult to break through Jingzhou's defenses.

Moreover, Zhou Yu has no ability to instigate the Jingzhou soldiers in the city.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou can be described as feuds.

After all, Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong, was killed by Liu Biao.

Because of this, people on both sides have constant small frictions, and they are extremely jealous, so how could they help each other?

At this moment, Cheng Yu slowly stepped forward and said:

"Reporting to Duke Wei, I think that there is no need to worry about Zhou Yu for the time being."

"Now our biggest enemy should be Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui and others who marched to besiege Xudu before."

"There are also potential hidden dangers such as the Huns."

"If the focus is placed on the south again, I'm afraid the north will not live in peace."

As soon as Cheng Yu's words came out, many ministers immediately joined in the discussion.

This is what Cao Cao is thinking at the moment.

Perhaps, there is no need to worry about that Zhou Yu.

However, at this moment, Jia Xu stood up and said:
"Wei Gong, the minister's idea is different."

"I think that just after taking the land of Jingzhou, our army only left [-] soldiers to guard the city, which is a great hidden danger."

"Although General Cao Ren defends the city well, the Jingzhou army is not trustworthy."

"With such a hidden danger, if Jingzhou is at fault, then Sun Quan and Liu Bei will be very close to Xudu."

"This matter should not be underestimated!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao's face moved slightly.

I have to say that Jia Xu hit the point.

This is the only thing Cao Cao is worried about.

The Jingzhou Army cannot be trusted.

Even if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are credible, they cannot command all Jingzhou troops.

Cao Ren can defend the city, but if there is an internal support in the city, no matter how good Cao Ren is, it is impossible to resist.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun slowly stood up and said in a deep voice:

"The general thinks that what Wen He said is reasonable, and the general is willing to lead an army to help Zixiao!"

After Xiahou Dun stood up, Xiahouyuan and others immediately stood up one after another and asked soldiers to support Jingzhou.

But Cao Cao didn't move at all, he looked at Bai Chuan, Sima Yi and the others in a blink of an eye and said:
"Zhongda, Jingming."

"Why don't you two say a word?"
