But Liu Xie understood that now he still wanted to keep Dong Cheng. After all, the other party still had many forces inside and outside the government, which he had not yet fully digested.

In addition, Cao Cao took action so decisively this time that Liu Xie was a little unexpected.

He was very willing to believe Cao Cao at first, but although the other party's move this time had some vague hints, Liu Xie's intention at that time was just to beat Bai Bojun, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to do it so simply.

!

Yang Ding and Hu Cai were killed, and Han Xian fled. After all, he was a general by himself. Did Cao Cao go too far?

Is Cao Cao really as loyal to him as he said?

While he was deep in thought, an attendant came to report: "Your Majesty, a great victory!"

"The rebel Li Jue was killed, Guo Si fled, and the entire Liangzhou army collapsed!"

Liu Xie was overjoyed. Within half a day, he solved the nightmare that had troubled him for several years!

He smiled and said, "It seems that Commander Cao is quite capable."

"Which of his generals killed Li Jue?"

The attendant quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this is Zhao Yun, the captain of Youzhou!"

"Zhao Yun?" Liu Xie pondered, "I remember he killed Hu Feng the day before yesterday?"

The guard replied: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. He also killed Li Jue's nephew Li Xian, and he alone gets the credit for today."

Liu Xie felt a bit toothache after hearing this, and thought that Youzhou was lucky to have found such a general.

Although he has always been aloof from the Yuan family, the generals he sent have made such great achievements, and it makes no sense for him not to reward them.

But the key is that Zhao Yun is a member of the Yuan family. Who knows if he will turn around and deal with him after being granted the title?

Liu Xie hesitated for a long time. He now had no direct troops. The most reliable one was Lu Bu. However, Lu Bu's territory now only had a few cities, making it difficult to protect himself.

Therefore, Liu Xie must find more people who are loyal to him, but he still can't understand who is trustworthy and who harbors evil intentions.

He has been deceived and hijacked enough, and suffered too many losses, but in the end, he still can't understand people's hearts.

So now he doesn't dare to trust anyone completely.
