The next day, the news that Cao Cao went on a war overnight naturally caused another shock in Xudu City.

This was really too sudden, and many people were completely confused for a moment.

For example, Liu Bei was very confused.

I was conquered Xuzhou but didn’t take me?

Liu Bei thought, but he couldn't understand why. After all, he had been in Xuzhou for several years. With his prestige and reputation, even if he had no soldiers, Cao Cao raised his banner, and many counties in Xuzhou could surrender.

As for Cao Cao, the hatred between this guy and the people of Xuzhou was deeper than the Yingchuan water. Without him, Lu Bu would have a little trick, and he would probably have many Xuzhou people willing to follow him to defend their homes.

Is Cao Cao careless?

On the other hand, Liu Xie was also confused. He wanted to show Cao Cao the letter he had processed, but Cao Cao could no longer find anyone.

It's a cheating father!

He didn't know what to do for such a big thing, so he thought about it and simply didn't bother the second master. He called Liu Bei to his side for consultation. He happened to be in the palace today.

He mainly did two things in the palace. One thing was to introduce Mi Zhu to Liu Xie to know him, and the other was to send Guan Yu to the Yulin Guard to take office. Guan Yu was not very famous after all, and suddenly he was at such a high position. He was afraid that Guan Yu would not be able to hold on.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xie called him again.

"Your Majesty, this is what I told you. Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong, the head of the Mi family in Xuzhou, has been doing business for generations."

"Yeah~"

Liu Xie glanced at Mi Zhu and nodded. To be honest, he didn't take it seriously as a trivial matter like making money. He immediately asked Liu Bei:

"Uncle, this tutor is too anxious to leave. I haven't told him about Zhang Xiu's surrender yet. I don't want Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu to make trouble with me while the tutor is not there. But, I don't want the tutor to get angry about this, and I can't make it clear, do you understand what I mean? Look at this, what can you do?"

Liu Bei was very depressed at this time, but after hearing what Liu Xie said, he immediately became energetic.

What's going on?

Your Majesty called me into the palace, was it just to ask about this?

What else can I do about this?

So Liu Bei had to answer tentatively:

"When you go back to your Majesty, I think that it is a good thing for Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to surrender, but Jia Wenhe's plan is too dangerous and it is against benevolence and righteousness. It is not done by a wise ruler. I think that the emperor can issue a clear order to the two, grant them a marquis, and grant them high-ranking officials and generous salaries. They ordered them to give up the troops and bring only a small number of troops to Beijing, and choose another confidant general to take over the defense of Nanyang, and reorganize their troops."

When Liu Xie heard this, he suddenly became enlightened.

OK OK OK Uncle Liu is a person who has ever fought with Cao Cao in history. As expected, the matter was solved!

"This plan is very wonderful, very wonderful. Just follow the emperor's words. In this way, the emperor's uncle will discuss this matter with Xun Lingjun." As he said that, Liu Xie handed the surrender bill that he had processed to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's reaction was stunned for a moment.

This is... very wonderful?

This is a great idea to follow the other way? This is a trick? This emperor is not a fool, right?

Liu Bei couldn't help but frown and began to think.

The emperor's wisdom is far superior to himself and even above the world. This has been proven. Therefore, it is impossible for the emperor to think of such a simple solution to this matter, which is certain.

Since it is such a simple thing, the emperor still needs to discuss it with others, how could he be so excited?

Let me go and discuss it with Lingjun?

Could it be... the emperor's move has other profound meanings?

Yes, it's right. I heard that Ling Jun had broken up with the Grand Tutor yesterday. This time, Cao Cao added his Dong Cao official Mao Jie to his left-behind ministers for the first time, as if he wanted to check and balance Ling Jun.

At this time, the Grand Tutor East Expedition to Lu Bu, and he could not come back for three or five months. Zhang Xiu surrendered to the emperor. Even if the emperor disagrees with Jia Xu's crazy plan, he must have done something.

Why did I go and discuss with Ling Jun?

Could it be...

Liu Bei's eyes lit up immediately.

There shouldn't be many people who can truly trust the emperor and have the ability and prestige in the court. The five thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Zhang Xiu's hands are the strongest forces in the world, but the more powerful the more they are, the more difficult it will be to subdue.

It is impossible for you to send someone casually, but they will recognize you as the leader. Besides, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu cannot give up the army too easily.

Who can he send?

Of course it is my uncle Liu, who is famous all over the world and is accompanied by military forces.

If these five thousand soldiers could be held in his own hands, plus the remaining Danyang soldiers and Youzhou soldiers, plus the geographical location of Wancheng, or the entire Nanyang, the emperor would immediately have the confidence to compete with Cao Cao!

He is not asking for advice at all. The point is that, let me discuss with Lingjun!

After all, the difficulty of this matter is not whether Liu Bei has the ability to subdue Zhang Xiu's army, but whether Liu Bei can represent the court in Wancheng as he wishes and whether he can get a formal appointment.

Cao Cao is not here, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity given by heaven, but Mao Jie is there. Even if there is no constraint on such a major matter, it is quite difficult to do it with just a transfer order from Shangshutai. You must know that Cao Hong is still stationed in Yangdi.

Although Cao Hong is stupid, he is not a fool. If he has the opportunity to take over Zhang Xiu's troops, he will rob the errand no matter what. How can he rob him?

So the key to this matter is Xun Lingjun. The emperor asked me to discuss with Xun Lingjun. It turned out that this is what it means!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt as excited as if he had just drunk a bowl of rooster blood.

It is a blessing to lose your horse.

I lost a chance to go to Xuzhou, but I had the chance to go to Nanyang.

If he could accept Zhang Xiu's men and Wancheng, he might be able to take over the entire Nanyang under the banner of the emperor. Nanyang is the largest county in the Han Dynasty, with a population of more than two million. The population of one county is greater than that of Youzhou and Liangzhou.

The foundation of hegemony!

It’s not that he has troops and self-reliance, but he has troops and territory in his hands. He is naturally different from the simple one who only has fame. Besides, Liu Bei also wants to leave his name in history, and wants to turn the tide, and also wants to be the pillar of his country!

"I am going to Liu Bei, and I will not let the emperor down. This trip will be successful or not. If there is any mistake in the matter, I am willing to apologize for death."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment.

Isn’t it just that you can tell Xun Yu that you will die and die?

This Uncle Liu is indeed a naturally sensitive physique.
