Bai Ren looked at Li Jue's terrified expression, smiled and said coldly: "Hangu Pass, I broke through it easily. As for Chang'an City, I took it easily. As for the guard of Hangu Pass, that Guo You bastard, you have already gone to hell, so I guess he should be waiting for you at Hades' place now!"

"You! Are you going to kill me?" After listening to Bai Ren's words, Li Jue was so frightened that he trembled, and then looked at Bai Ren in horror and said.

"How can I kill General Li? After all, I am just a miscellaneous general. As for General Li, I will send you to His Majesty. I am afraid that General Li will soon see Guo Si, General Guo Already!" Bai Ren looked at Li Jue's trembling with fright, and said with a hint of a smile in his tone.

"No! You can't be so cruel!" After listening to Bai Ren's words, Li Jue turned pale with fright. Based on Liu Xie's feelings towards him, he might not be able to survive.

"Gag his mouth! Prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide!" Bai Ren looked at Li Jue's appearance, then at Li Jue's wide open mouth, and said to his subordinates in a displeased tone.

"Report! Sikong, good news, good news, General Bai has captured Guanzhong, beheaded Guo Si, and captured Li Jue!" A messenger came to Cao Cao's mansion with a hint of joy on his face. Excited to announce the good news to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he heard the messenger's words, and he burst into laughter in a blink of an eye, and then said to Dian Wei beside him in a somewhat complacent tone: "Bai Zifu really lived up to everyone's expectations! He captured Guanzhong so quickly, This is less than a month, Bai Zifu is really talented!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Dian Wei silently looked at Cao Cao and nodded, then fell silent.

"General Bai, you asked me to bring some gifts to Sikong!" The messenger saw Cao Cao's joyful face, and said to Cao Cao quickly.

After Cao Cao heard what the messenger said, his eyes revealed a trace of curiosity, and then asked the messenger in a strange tone: "Oh! What is it?"

"The things are just outside the door, my lord, please go out and have a look!" Seeing Cao Cao's curious look, the messenger hurriedly said to Cao Cao in a calm tone.

After hearing what the messenger said, Cao Cao walked out of his room slowly. When he went out and saw Bai Ren's so-called gift, he immediately laughed and said in a proud tone: "This is really a good gift! Tomorrow I will present this gift to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely like it very much!"

"As long as Sikong likes it!" Seeing Cao Cao's smiling face, the messenger took a slight breath, and then said flatteringly.

In the early morning of the second day, just after dawn, there were already hundreds of civil and military officials standing in the main hall of Xuchang, and Cao Cao was the master of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, plus the powerful faction who controlled the military uniforms, and it was also appointed by Han Emperor Liu Xie himself. Sikong, General Cheqi, it can be said that in this court, Cao Cao is under one man and above ten thousand people. Perhaps in the near future, Cao Cao's power will surpass that of the people above him.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!" All the ministers watched Liu Xie walk into the main hall wearing a dragon robe, immediately sat on the dragon chair, bent down quickly, and bowed respectfully to Liu Xie as a courtier.

Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair with a full face, looking at the courtiers below, with a hint of satisfaction and joy in his eyes. In these days in Xuchang, Cao Cao gave Liu Xie great respect. It can be said that Liu Xie Feel the true feeling of being an emperor.

"All love ladies, please sit down!" Liu Xie smiled smugly, then waved his hands, and said to the courtiers below in a gentle tone.

The courtiers of the Han Dynasty sat down slowly after hearing Liu Xie's words, and then looked at the Han Emperor Liu Xie who was sitting on the dragon chair in high spirits, with a hint of relief on his face.

"Dear dears, is there anything important to announce? If not, then temporarily retreat!" Several ministers reported the recent folk customs and people's lives in Yanzhou and Yuzhou to Han Emperor Liu Xie, and it was almost the same. No one spoke anymore, Han Emperor Liu Xie looked at the suddenly quiet scene in front of him, and asked the courtiers below in a flat tone.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to announce!" At this moment, Cao Cao, who had been silent all the time, stood up from his seat, bowed respectfully to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and then turned to Liu Xie in a flat tone. Xie said.

"I don't know if Cao Sikong has something important to announce?" Han Emperor Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao who stood up, and asked Cao Cao with a gentle expression on his face.

"The minister Biao played the captive general Bai Ren, and Bai Zifu is the governor of Yongzhou!" Cao Cao looked at Han Emperor Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, and said to Han Emperor Liu Xie in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Bai Ren, Bai Zifu?" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Han Emperor Liu Xie fell into memory. After thinking for a long time, he remembered the young lieutenant who followed Xia Houyuan when he rescued him.

"Cao Sikong, that Bai Zifu is too young and has no achievements. If he becomes the governor of Yongzhou, he will probably make people laugh at him and chill the heart of my ministers!" Han Emperor Liu Xie thought for a while. Yes, he shook his head helplessly at Cao Cao, and then said to Cao Cao with a firm tone.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Bai Ren is a hero of the Han Dynasty, and his achievements are enough to serve as the governor of Yongzhou." Cao Cao listened to the words of Han Emperor Liu Xie, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said firmly to Liu Xie.

"Cao Mengde, are you kidding! What merits does Bai Zifu have to be the governor of Yongzhou? Cao Mengde, don't use your power for personal gain!" At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing an official's mansion stood up in the middle opposite Cao Cao, with a positive look Said to Cao Cao with a sneer.

Cao Cao looked at the person who stood up, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. This person was none other than Dong Cheng, the new hussar general Dong Cheng appointed by Han Emperor Liu Xie, who was also a staunch anti-Cao faction.

"Haha! General Dong, if Bai Zifu captured Chang'an and regained Guanzhong, would it be considered a great achievement? Can he take the position of governor of Yongzhou?" Cao Cao looked at Dong Cheng staring at himself, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then Said to Dong Cheng with a calm face.

"What, captured Chang'an and pacified Guanzhong?"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the servants below were shocked, and raised their heads to stare at the smiling Cao Cao, because they remembered that Xu Chang sent troops to attack Guanzhong a month ago. It should be less than a month!It sounds unreal.

"Cao Mengde, don't confuse people with your gossip, Guanzhong can't be regained so soon!" Dong Cheng listened to Cao Cao's words, his eyes showed a look of surprise, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then he sneered Said to Cao Cao.

"Cao Sikong, is it true that the recapture of Guanzhong is true?" Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also widened his eyes, looking curiously at Cao Cao, whose face was still calm as usual, with a somewhat unbelievable tone. Asked to Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, General Bai, even specially gave His Majesty two gifts!" Cao Cao looked at the unbelievable expressions of the people around him, and then calmly said to Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han, who was standing in his seat.

"Gift, what gift? Cao Sikong bring it up and have a look!" Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty revealed a trace of curiosity after hearing Cao Cao's words, and then asked Cao Cao in a suspicious tone.

"Come here, present it to Your Majesty!" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie's curious eyes and gently shouted to the outside of the hall.

Under the eyes of everyone, a military general was holding a plate, and there was something raised on the plate, but it was covered by a red cloth, which made people feel curious.

"Look, Your Majesty!" Cao Cao immediately removed the red cloth, revealing a bloody head.

"what!"

The courtiers below were startled when they saw the head, but when they came back to their senses, they realized that the head turned out to be that of Guo Bang, the leader of the Xiliang Army.

"This is the head of the thief Guo Si, please take a look at it!" Cao Cao said with a smile on his face, looking at Dong Cheng opposite him with some complacency.

"Okay! Take it down and feed it to the dog!" Liu Xie looked excited at this time, but he hated Li Jue and Guo Si to the bone.

"Your Majesty, please look at another gift!" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie's excited expression, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became wider, and he said to Liu Xie quickly.

After a while, a person from outside the court was brought in with his upper body bound. At this time, Liu Xie looked at the person, and was ecstatic, and said in a shocked tone: "Li Jue is a thief! What a good gift, come here Feng Bairen , Bai Zifu is the Governor of Yongzhou, General Anxi, Marquis of Guannei!"

Looking at Liu Xie's appearance, the courtiers below were not very good at dissuading them. After all, the two gifts not only avenged Liu Xie, but also showed that Bai Ren had recovered the entire Guanzhong.

Cao Cao frowned slightly when he heard Liu Xie's award, and suddenly looked at Liu Xie's eyes looking at him. Cao Cao suddenly felt that Liu Xie was like a fox. Could it be an illusion?

"Come on, drag Li Jue down, and cut his body apart!" Liu Xie turned his head and gave the execution order to Li Jue below.

Chapter 363 Return to the East

At the beginning of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu attacked Liu Bei. Liu Bei asked for help from Lu Bu. Losing to Lu Bu, he was forced to go north to Yanzhou to join Cao Cao.

In the south, Sun Ce raised troops in Kuaiji in January, joined forces with his cousin Sun Ben, and raised troops to attack Liu Yao. Liu Yao was Sun Ce's opponent. Liu Yao was forced to retreat to Yuzhang.

At this time, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu were staring at Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and Sun Ce was now fighting with Wang Langyan and Baihu's coalition forces, while Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north were still facing each other, and no one could do anything to the other, while the west faced each other calm down.

At this time, Bai Ren can be said to be proud of his scenery. Now, as the governor of Yongzhou, Bai Ren can be said to be one of the best officials in the border of Cao Cao's camp.

"This Chang'an City still needs to be strengthened, take advantage of the short period of peace!" Bai Ren said with a serious expression while standing on the ancient city wall of Chang'an City.

Going north of Chang'an is Xiliang, and now there are many princes in Xiliang, led by Ma Teng and Han Sui. Ma Teng and Han Sui have indelible ambitions for Chang'an City, while Chang'an going south is the land of Hanzhong, Bashu , Zhang Luzheng in Hanzhong is now fighting with Liu Zhang in Bashu in the south, Zhang Lu will never have the idea and courage to attack Chang'an, but according to the development of history, Bashu and Hanzhong will become the territory of the hero Liu Bei in more than 20 years, and Liu Bei However, the Bashu Group will break through Chang'an and become the first major goal of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty.

Now the nearest enemies are Ma Teng and Han Sui. Although the reputation of these two people in history is not as good as Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao and other princes, in this era of heroes, their strength must not be underestimated.

"Inspector, I think it's better to send people to lobby the various princes in Xiliang, let them fight on their own, and then defeat them one by one and put down Xiliang!" Beside Bai Ren was a middle-aged scribe with a kind expression on his face. Looking at Bai Ren beside him with a wide smile, he said in a flat tone.
