Ragnarok is born

Liu Xie glanced at Wang Yue, and said disapprovingly, "General Cheqi is at ease, with the sword master's profound skills, within a radius of tens of feet, even the slightest disturbance of wind and grass, cannot be hidden from his keen eyes and ears."

"I have the protection of the sword master, what is there to worry about?"

Wang Yue smiled proudly, but felt bitter in his heart.

Just now seeing the situation where Zuo Ci and Yu Ji fought against each other, it dealt a huge blow to his confidence.

Although it seems that there is no fireworks in the fairy-level fight, the danger is far beyond Wang Yue's imagination.

With his Hunyuan Ruyi realm, which surpasses the strength of most warriors, if he faces Zuo Ci or Yu Ji alone, the best result will be to barely escape by relying on some secret skills that can explode.

This is only based on Zuo Ci and Yu Ji's demonstrated strength.

But everyone knows very well that as one of the few immortal-level masters, these two must also possess countless powerful secret skills and even incomparable magical powers, which can easily suppress ordinary masters.

With a cautious smile on Dong Cheng's face, he shook his head and said, "Even the immortals have already appeared, so it's better to be careful after all."

Liu Xie looked at Dong Cheng, who was timid and cautious in front of him, and couldn't help feeling angry for a while, and immediately said, "General Zuo sent someone to inform me that he had planned to attack and kill Che Zhou in Xuzhou, and escaped from Cao Cao's control."

"Everything in the imperial court requires a lot of effort from the chariot and cavalry generals."

Wang Yue used his whole body's strength, and his whole body was full of momentum, wantonly showing his existence to the surroundings.

Although his skills are profound, but recently, the masters from all walks of life who have secretly hidden their identities and entered the palace can be described as a mixed bag of dragons and snakes.

No matter how well-informed and knowledgeable I am, I still can't fully identify the true identities of these masters.

But the respect that the emperor attached to him has now become a bondage instead, making him have to work hard to support and maintain it.

In the perception of other masters, Wang Yue right now is like a firefly in the dark, constantly emitting light, showing his own deterrent power to the outside world.

Only in this way can other people feel jealous and dare not throw their spiritual power on the emperor Liu Xie at will.

Otherwise, once the word "clothes belt edict" is spread, it will immediately cause an uproar and cause turmoil in the current situation.

But Wang Yue knew the pain in his heart.

I don't know how long I can barely maintain my own deterrent power?

Once others lose their awe of themselves, and then develop a tentative mentality, maybe they will usher in a tragic situation of life and death.

Volume Six Three Kingdoms Warriors Chapter 13: Cao Cao

During this period of time, countless masters came to the Xuchang Palace in various ways, but Wang Yue was always worried.

These people have endless backgrounds and unclear thoughts, even if there is evidence to show that they do have a lot to do with the emperor.

But Wang Yue knew that their relationship with the emperor was actually very superficial.

Just by the name of the Taoist Shi Zixuan, it is not necessarily possible to judge that they all came to seek refuge with the emperor Liu Xie sincerely.

It is well known that the young emperor Liu Bian was fostered in the Taoist temple presided over by the Taoist Shi Zixuan.

As long as you search carefully, you will be able to know the cause and effect of this matter; you must know that matters in the Tian family are extremely easy to attract others' prying eyes.

The emperor and Dong Cheng blatantly said the three words "clothes belt edict", but it brought great confusion to Wang Yue.

Thanks to Wang Yue's profound skills, he tried his best to run his skills, and controlled the conversation between the two of them in a very small range as much as possible, so that it didn't spread far and caused no sensation.

In the Sikong mansion, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning when he heard the latest news from the palace, and said in puzzlement, "Yu Ji and Zuo Ci appeared in the palace at the same time, and because of the disagreement, , hit hard."

Then he showed a smile that was not a smile, and said sarcastically, "They are so powerful that they directly destroyed the Palace of Yongning when they fought."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and the situation in the palace was completely out of his control.

Although the manpower he secretly dispatched was able to ambush into the palace due to the chaotic situation not long after the relocation some time ago, they were still unable to affect the actions of the emperor.

After the completion of the Xuchang Imperial Palace, in just three months, Taoist priests from all over the world came to attach themselves to the emperor in an endless stream.

Even now, this trend has not completely stopped, so the power that the emperor can control is increasing day by day.

It has even become so powerful that even Guo Jia felt that it was a little trembling.

I don't know what the young emperor wants to do?

Guo Jia's mind was dark, and he thought to himself, no wonder some people would spread the word that the late emperor and Zhang Jiao's three brothers secretly colluded and wanted to change the situation.

When this statement first appeared, before it spread, it was dismissed as "absurd" by many people.

But regardless of other things, just judging from the present, Taoist priests from all over the world are scrambling to come to attach themselves to the emperor, which is obviously enough to confirm the rumors of the year.

In any case, the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the Taoist priests, in the eyes of Guo Jia and others, is really difficult for people to sit idly by.

Although Cao Cao was running across the Central Plains at this time, he successively defeated the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingyan and Yanzhou, as well as Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yang Feng, Han Xian and other warlords. His strength was at its peak in history.

But his important generals, as well as many civil servants and advisers, need to be stationed in various places and manage them with all their heart.

Therefore, Xuchang City's defense force is not as it appears, it is heavily guarded, not even a fly can fly in.

Just look at Guan Yu's ability to sneak into Xuchang City at will, but Cao Cao's side didn't notice it; and then he was discovered by Zhong Liquan shortly after he broke into the palace.

From such a simple matter, it can be easily deduced that Cao Cao's control of Xuchang is still insufficient after all.

Just as Guo Jia was about to speak, Jia Xu suddenly said, "The emperor was attacked, Duke Ming should leave immediately and go to the palace to visit the emperor."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "What Wen He said is very true, I really should leave immediately at this time, and it is only right to go to the palace to visit the emperor."

Guo Jia raised his brows lightly, then laughed softly, "It is said that Jia Wenhe is not only good at plotting, but also good at plotting people!"

"Seeing it today is really an eye-opener."

"Jia knows that brother Wen He made great efforts to allow the emperor to return to Luoyang..."

Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Jia Xu laughed dumbly and said, "So, Jia will accompany the lord to meet the emperor."

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he stopped Xu Chudao, who wanted to ask to go with him, "Zhongkang, you are seriously injured, and you should give priority to recuperation. This time, Brother Ling will accompany me into the palace."

**** **** ****

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao who was stepping forward, and felt extremely emotional in his heart.

Cao Cao's figure is not tall, just like an ordinary adult man, without the majestic and mighty appearance of a general.

However, the perennial military career made this traitor, who seemed to have a somewhat refined temperament, naturally exude a decisive and decisive atmosphere.

Looking at Cao Cao who bowed to him, Liu Xie suddenly remembered some rumors related to him.

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, adopted his uncle Cao Teng as his son; and Cao Teng experienced five emperors in his life: Xiaoan, Xiaoshun, Xiaochong, Xiaozhi, and Xiaohuan.

Moreover, because of his meritorious service in making a policy to welcome Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of "Marquis of Fei Ting", and moved to the Great Changqiu.

Cao Teng had a broad mind throughout his life and recommended sages. Although he was an eunuch, he had an excellent reputation among scholars.

He even recommended many well-known people in the world, such as Yu Fang and Bian Shao from Chenliu (now Chenliu County, Henan), Yangu and Zhang Wen from Nanyang, Zhang Huan from Hongnong, Tangxi and Zhao Yingchuan from Yingchuan. Dian et al.

It is precisely because of Cao Teng's character that when he came to Cao Cao, he was able to mix with Yuan Shao, the representative of the gentry and the disciple of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and third prince.

In the third year of Xiping (174), Cao Cao was promoted to Xiaolian and entered Luoyang, Kyoto as a Lang.

Soon, he was appointed as Luoyang Northern Captain. During his tenure, he declared the prohibition, strictly enforced the law, and made more than ten five-color sticks. Later, he executed Jian Shuo's uncle with "five-color sticks".

Although he became famous because of this, he also offended many dignitaries in the dynasty and was transferred to the magistrate of Dunqiu (now Qingfeng County).

Later, he was dismissed due to incidents.

In the first year of Zhongping, the three brothers Zhang Jiao used Taiping Road as the backbone to confuse the people and set off a massive Yellow Turban riot. Cao Cao was worshiped as the captain of cavalry, and was ordered to join forces with Huangfusong and others to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. The Yellow Turban Army beheaded tens of thousands of people.

Because of his military merits, he was moved to Jinan Prime Minister, and his governance was the same as that in Luoyang. Therefore, Jinan's politics and education are prosperous, and a county is peaceful.

At that time, the court was corrupt, and Cao Cao refused to cater to the powerful, so he returned to his hometown under the pretext of illness, studying in spring and summer, and hunting in autumn and winter.

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), in order to consolidate his rule, Emperor Xianxiaoling set up the eight captains of Xiyuan, and Cao Cao was appointed as the captain of Dianjun among the eight captains because of his family background.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Emperor Xiaoling died, and the young emperor Liu Bian ascended the throne. The general He Jintu plotted to kill the ten permanent servants, and called Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and others to lead the army into Beijing. He took the first step to kill He Jin.

Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, abolished Emperor Shao with martial arts, and made Liu Xie the emperor.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was going against the grain, Cao Cao was unwilling to cooperate with him, so he changed his name and fled the capital.

After returning to Chenliu, he "distributed the wealth of the family and united with righteous soldiers", and initiated the volunteer army to call on the heroes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo.

Among the allied forces against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, were the only two princes who were really eager to defeat Dong Zhuo.

It's a pity that the Kwantung Allied Forces had their own ghosts, and finally nothing happened. From this, Cao Cao saw that the heroes of the world no longer wanted the imperial court, so he began to strengthen his own strength and began to compete in the Central Plains.

In the end, he rushed ahead of Yuan Shao to welcome the emperor and all civil and military officials who returned to Luoyang, pushing his reputation to the highest.

Liu Xie's mind flashed through the past events of Cao Cao's life one by one, and he was filled with emotion. At that time, he was a loyal minister, but now he is now a traitor.

It is said that Xu Shao, who founded the "Yuedan Review" once commented on Cao Cao, saying that he is "a capable minister in governing the world, and a traitor in troubled times!"

Thinking that the military and government of the imperial court are all in the hands of Cao Cao, isn't it just in response to Xu Shao's comment on Cao Cao, "You are really a traitor?"

After Cao Cao paid the salute meticulously, his eyes showed concern, and he asked, "I heard that the palace is in great chaos, and there are villains plotting wrongdoing, can your Majesty be surprised?"

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth turned up slightly, and an imperceptible sneer flashed quickly, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "I'm fine, I'm worried about Lao Sikong!"

In August of the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Cao welcomed the emperor; in [-], Cao Cao was named the captain of Sili, and recorded the affairs of the minister.Gengshen moved the capital to Xu County.In November Bingxu, Cao Cao was named Sikong again, and he rode and rode in the military, and all the officials listened to him.

Therefore, in the mouths of others, Cao Cao is called "Cao Sikong".

Cao Cao is such a character, he naturally knows that if he monopolizes the government, he will eventually arouse the emperor's disgust.

But the world is impermanent, since it has been decided to reunify the world in a domineering way and restore the peace of the people, it has to go on according to the predetermined goal.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in chaos, coupled with Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, and the Kanto and Kansai Wars, it can be said that people have truly fallen into dire straits.

When Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang and returned to his hometown, preparing to call on the heroes to fight against Dong Zhuo, he saw only bones exposed along the way, and there was no one for thousands of miles.

So he wrote poems such as "Walking in Haoli" and "Xiaolu Xing", which have been handed down to later generations.

Yuan Shao's high-ranking family is not enough to rely on, so I, Cao Cao, will end this troubled world with my own hands.

Cao Cao felt suffocated when he thought of the tragic scene he had witnessed.

Although, his behavior is a great offense to the young emperor who sits high above.

But so what?

Compared with the anguish of the emperor alone, the people of the world are truly troubled by disasters.

Cao Cao's heart hardened, and he said loudly, "Yuan Shao, Hebei, has done a lot of wrong things, please allow me to lead the army to attack."

Half of Liu Xie's face was hidden in the shadows that the lights couldn't reach, making him look gloomy and melancholy.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "But I don't know how General Yuan disobeyed?"

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Cao sent Kong Rong to Yecheng with the emperor's talisman, worshiped Yuan Shao as a general, and gave him a bow and arrow, talisman, ax and iron, and a hundred tigers, and let him take charge of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou. , and four states.

That's why the emperor called Yuan Shao "the great general".

Volume 14 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Yuan Shao

Cao Cao's face was serious, and he replied in a deep voice, "In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Yuan Shao, Jizhou Governor Wang Fen, Nanyang Xu You, Peiguo Zhou Jing and others planned to encircle and suppress the Heishan bandits and asked the late emperor for more troops. "

"Actually, they have other plans. They intend to launch a coup when the late emperor returned to Hejian to visit his relatives. First, kill the Huangmen and Zhongchang servants, then abolish the late emperor, and replace him with the Marquis of Hefei."

Liu Xie let out a slight sigh, and asked puzzledly, "I remember that in the fourth year of Zhongping, Yuan Benchu ​​should have been in Luoyang, the capital city, at the General's residence, so how could he have anything to do with Wang Fen's treason case? "

Jia Xu glanced at Cao Cao, who was looking worried, and explained, "The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and its disciples and old officials are all over the world. Jizhou Governor Wang Fen, Nanyang Xu You, Pei Guo Zhou Jing and others are all members of Yuan's family! "

Only then did Liu Xie's complexion slow down, and he hurriedly said with a light smile, "I also heard before that the Yuan family in Runan has unmatched connections in the world."

"Mr. Wen He's words have verified this statement."

The emperor escaped from Chang'an and was able to return to Luoyang, the old capital. Jia Xu contributed a lot in it, so when he faced Jia Xu, he treated him with courtesy.

Ignoring Cao Cao, who was hesitant to speak, he invited, "Mr. Wen He is coming to Xuchang this time, would you like to stay and help me?"

Jia Xu also did not expect that the Son of Heaven would be so impatient to make a request, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and the childish boy back then has now become a young man who is about to become weak.

Although Liu Xie's career as a puppet all the year round, it seems that Liu Xie does not have the spirit of forging ahead and unwavering determination like other children of the family, but instead has a strange melancholy temperament.

But after all, he has realized that the Son of Heaven should be the supreme being who controls everything, looks down on the world, and is the only one who respects himself.

Therefore, what he said just now seemed to be a little impatient, and the slightly rough wooing was also a kind of temptation.

The old events in Chang'an City in the past are vivid, which makes Jia Xu feel not very emotional, and secretly sighs that it is really not easy for a young man.

Thinking of this, he immediately bowed and apologized, "I have received kindness from Zhang Huanqi, so in order to repay this kindness, I agreed to Zhang Huanqi's request before he died to help his nephew Zhang Xiu well. "
