When everyone heard what their lord said, they were very puzzled. Only those who followed Liu Xuan to the alliance knew why the lord said so, so Xi Zhi asked:

"I don't know what the comparison has to do with Cao Cao? Please help my lord!"

Liu Xuan laughed and said:

"Cao Cao talks about supporting the Han family, but he is also an ambitious wolf, and he will not be willing to stay under others for a long time. The current little emperor can't shake Cao Cao, a wolf!

So as long as Baobao learns that both Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun are dead, he will definitely send troops to Chang'an and take the little emperor to his side to take care of him. It seems that it is for the sake of the Han family, but in fact it is to coerce the emperor to order the princes! "

When everyone heard this, they all understood that Cao Cao was about to go to war with Chang'an!

Liu Xuan continued:

"Cao Cao must have prepared to send troops to attack Chang'an. As long as Cao Cao sends troops to Chang'an, if no other princes go, the little emperor will be brought back to Yanzhou by Cao Cao."

After hearing this, Liu Bowen cupped his hands to Liu Xuan and said:

"My lord, why don't we bring the little emperor back to Liaodong? As long as we have the little emperor, it will be much easier for us to do things."

Liu Xuan shook his head and said:

"No, if the little emperor is brought to Liaodong, then Liaodong will be the target of public criticism. Some people will listen to orders, but no one will send troops. It's just an empty shelf. In the end, he will be accused of coercing the emperor to order the princes! It's not worth it! "

At this time, the city of Chang'an was in chaos. Li Jue and Guo Si led the iron cavalry from Xiliang, and they had already settled in the palace. The little emperor Liu Xie was once again reduced to a puppet in the hands of others.

Cao Cao learned that Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun were all dead, and that Chang'an was in chaos, so he called all the counselors and generals to discuss how to save the little emperor.

Xun Yu was Cao Cao's first adviser, he stood up and said to Cao Cao:

"My lord, if you send troops to Chang'an now, I guarantee that you can easily save the little emperor. Li Jue and Guo Si are brave and foolhardy people. If you design a way to separate the two and make them feel estranged, then you don't have to attack the city. You can get Chang'an!"

After Cao Cao heard this, he also felt that this strategy was feasible. When he was attacking Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao had heard that these two men were inferior to the Xiahou brothers in terms of force, and they were useless in terms of tactics, so he said:

"Zixiao, I order you to lead [-] soldiers and horses as the vanguard! Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, you two are in command of the Chinese army. We will go to Chang'an tomorrow, and we must bring the little emperor back to Yanzhou."

Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Xiahouyuan came out, and they all clasped their hands together and said:

"The last general takes orders!"

Several people turned around and left, went down to rectify the soldiers and horses, but Xun Yu did not leave, Cao Cao saw that Xun Yu had not moved, and after everyone went down, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu:

"Wen Ruo, what else is there?"

Xun Yu arched his hands together and said:

"My lord, if you can receive the little emperor this time, you can also bring the ministers from Chang'an along the way. From now on, Yanzhou will be the court of the little emperor, and my lord can coerce the emperor to command the princes!"

Cao Cao laughed and said:

"Those who know me, Wen Ruo! Keep talking!"

Xun Yu also smiled and continued to Cao Cao:

"As long as the lord has the card of the little emperor in his hand, all the princes will be afraid in the future. They dare not send troops to Chang'an to rescue the little emperor, and they all have their own little plans! But the lord is different, the lord is Wentao, Wulue, and has the world in mind , you can use the little emperor to annex all the princes slowly!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao said:

"This is not the case. Although some things are more convenient after getting the little emperor, there are concerns. All the princes have ambitions, like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao. These three people are no less powerful than me. Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng, Don't worry about these things at all, as for Liu Bei and Sun Ce, needless to say, I'm most worried about the one from Liaodong!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu thought for a while and said:

"Liaodong Liu Xuan never sent anyone to Chang'an, which means that he will not compete with the lord for anything at the moment. The lord can take advantage of this time to quickly develop our army. Only stronger, with the lord's ability, the lord will not be afraid of anyone. people!"

This is Xun Yu putting a high hat on Cao Cao, just to help Cao Cao make up his mind, because Xun Yu knows that his master is very suspicious!If he didn't understand everything, he wouldn't dare to send troops with great fanfare.

Even after bringing the little emperor back, he would still be worried about this issue, just because his lord had seen the horrors of Liaodong's army, so he suggested a ban!With tens of thousands of people standing together, you can hear even a needle falling on the ground. Xun Yu also admired Liu Xuan's method of managing troops in Liaodong.

The next day came in a blink of an eye, and Cao Cao decisively sent troops to Chang'an with his troops.

When Cao Cao walked halfway, he had already ordered people to go to Chang'an, and went to Li Jue's house with gifts and treasures!

Cao Cao sent two people, one bright and one dark, and the people who sent to the bright side went to Li Jue's house with all the gifts.

Li Jue was on duty in the palace, and Guo Si had already gone home to rest. Cao Cao sent people to meet Li Jue's wife and said a lot of good things, so that Li Jue took all the money.

Li Jue's wife also flew on a branch and turned into a phoenix. She was dressed in luxurious clothes, which seemed to be worn by rich people!After the gift giver withdrew from Li Jue's mansion, he spread rumors in the city, saying that Li Jue had been bought by Cao Cao, and was going to find an opportunity to kill Guo Si, and then led the Xiliang iron cavalry to defect to Cao Mengde!

After Mrs. Li Jue stored all the treasures sent by Mrs. Li in the treasury of the mansion, the person in the dark went to work on his own affairs. He also went to see the treasures one by one. busy.

Just after Mrs. Li Jue left, a person hiding in the dark sneaked into Li Jue's treasury and put a letter on top of the treasure that Cao Cao ordered to send!After releasing it, he lurked out secretly.

At this time, on Chang'an Avenue, some people began to spread that Li Jue had planned to join Cao Cao and was ready to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Guo Si.

Of course Li Jue, who was on duty in the palace, didn't know about this!However, after Guo Si returned to the mansion, he began to rest and didn't get up until the afternoon. He was drinking tea in the hall when some of his subordinates came!

I saw a soldier wearing armor with a waist and crotch sword rushing in hastily!Kneeling on one knee and arching both hands, he said to Guo Bang:

"Report to the general, when the subordinates were patrolling the city, they heard some bad rumors!"

When Guo Si heard this, he didn't pay much attention, took another sip of tea and asked:

"Oh...what's the matter? Make you so panic? Tell me quickly!"

The soldiers kneeling on the ground looked in disbelief, and said to Guo Si:
