Cao Cao's general gave the order and all the soldiers immediately took action. After all, if it was too late and the siege of White Horse turned into a city destroyed and people died, the battle would be even more difficult to fight.

Zhang Liao and Guan Yu had known each other before, and they felt somewhat sympathetic to each other. Zhang Liao was only thirty years old at this time, and he regarded Guan Yu as a good elder brother.

Cavalry is definitely a scarce resource in this era.

Due to the disputes between the princes, more people died and more horses were wasted. This resulted in Cao Cao's current cavalry being less than 3,000.

He directly gave Guan Yu and Zhang Liao a thousand cavalry as vanguards. This number seemed quite generous to Cao Cao, although both Zhang Liao and Guan Yu understood that Yan Liangna's cavalry must be more than them, and at least more.

More than doubled.

However, their main focus this time was a surprise attack, which focused on speed and surprise. It was normal to have a small number of troops. Guan Yu and Zhang Liao didn't care about these.

The news that Cao Cao was mobilizing troops outside the city could not be hidden from the people in the court. Although they did not know Cao Cao's specific strategy, it could be said that the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had begun, which made all the nominal Han officials feel sad.

Panic, many people even took leave of absence from the previous court, obviously wanting to distance themselves a little from Cao Cao in advance. If Xuchang was really crushed by Yuan Shao in a month or two, it would be more or less like this.

Isn't this a way to give yourself a little more chance to survive?

After Cao Cao made the plan, his attention was no longer on the court. He only left behind Xun Yu, who had always been more interested in Liu Xie and was considered loyal to the Han Dynasty. He could be regarded as his spokesperson in the court, and of course he could also intimidate everyone.

I don't know what the courtier is thinking.

Cao Cao stopped watching, and Fu Wanke couldn't help it. Years of experience made him feel that Cao Cao might be going to conquer it himself, so he came to Liu Xie as soon as he got this guess.

"Your Majesty, once Cao Cao leaves the city, our opportunity will come. This is probably the best time to leave!"

For Fu Wan, every day here is a torment. Now he is accompanying Liu Xie in planning to leave Wu County. Once Cao Cao finds out, his whole family will not end well. He can only be worse than Dong Cheng.

It was miserable, so it was a good thing for him to leave an hour early.

Seeing his father-in-law's sweaty appearance, Liu Xie felt helpless in his heart, thinking that there was no one available, otherwise he would not be able to entrust him with important responsibilities if he had to give up his courage.

"This is just the first battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. It is a battle of mutual testing. After this battle, one will know the pros and cons, and the other will understand the depth. Then they can fully devote themselves to the war. If we run away now, it is not a good time.

, just wait! No matter whether Cao Cao wins or loses in this battle, he will place all his troops in Guandu. At that time, our opportunity will lie!"

After hearing that Liu Xie's analysis made sense, Fu Wan could only wipe the sweat from his forehead and exit Liu Xie's palace with a little disappointment because of his identity and status.

After Fu finished and left, Liu Xie looked at Jiang Dong's peace of mind from the window of the palace, and murmured in his mouth: "Sun Ce is not a disobedient person. If he doesn't read my letters, things will not be good.

Done..."

Although every step arranged by Liu Xie is relatively satisfactory, it is still unknown whether Sun Ce will completely follow his own rhythm. Although Sun Ce will not collapse without Jiangdong, the reason why he chose Sun Ce is because

His character has a lot to do with it. If he were gone, Liu Xie really wouldn't think there would be any point in going to Jiangdong.

Because Xun Yu was in the court, Liu Xie knew that once he received the battle report, he would definitely announce it in the court, in order to calm down the worried Han officials.

It is not enough for Xu Chang to have just one emperor. As an indispensable part of the court, it would be a bit too fake if the Han officials were all relatives of Cao Cao's own family.

Next door to the queen's palace, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Emi have been living here for several days. Although they know that Guan Yu sent them here for their safety, this place is different from the previous residence, and the maid has no chance to go to the street to inquire.

With little news from the city, all they could do was count the days and wait.

On this day, the two of them were chatting about where Liu Bei might be now, when the maid suddenly ran in a little panicked.

"Madam, Your Majesty...came to us alone!"

"What? What is your Majesty doing here with us?"

As Mrs. Gan said this, she stood up and tightened her clothes in the middle.

It can be said that they have never met Liu Xie, and they are now living in someone else's palace. Although Guan Yu once said before that they are Liu Xie's aunts in terms of seniority, Liu Xie will definitely take care of them and will not take care of them easily.

The backup was messed up.

But for these two ladies to be Liu Bei's guests, they naturally have a considerable understanding of men. They knew that although Liu Xie was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he had been trapped in this deep palace for four or five years.

There are only three women who accompany him, and currently there is a Dong nobleman who has been thrown into the cold palace because of Dong Cheng's affairs.

Are two women enough? It is definitely not enough.

Two people are not enough, and Cao Cao will not pay attention to the needs of Liu Xie, an empty emperor. So now that they are here, can Liu Xie, who is full of blood, endure it?

Anyway, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi felt that he couldn't do it. After all, in their own eyes, although he was older than Liu Xie, he was still charming and charming, no less than Liu Xie's queen and nobles.

Before Mrs. Gan's words could be answered by the people around her, the door was pushed open, and Liu Xie, dressed in loose casual clothes, pushed the door and walked in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Although Liu Xie, the emperor, was a little bit unworthy of his name, in front of these women, the young and energetic Liu Xie seemed to be an insurmountable mountain. At least at this point in time, he could

Do whatever you want.

"I'm here to see my two aunts, you go out first!"

Liu Xie still had a bit of the majesty of an emperor at this time. At least the only maid next to Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi did not dare to disobey him, so she simply held her legs tightly and took small steps.

Went out of the house.
