Chapter 69 Shocked Guan Yu
Yuan Shao still didn't speak, but the general understood that he had no choice but to tell the matter. Otherwise, if he didn't report the matter, his head would probably be hurt.
"There is news from Xuchang that the Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty is no longer in Xuchang. Instead, he was kidnapped by Jiangdong Sun Ce and brought to Wu County. He has also announced that he will move the capital to Wu County and has also issued a crusade against Cao Cao!"
As soon as these words came out, the advisers around Yuan Shao were surprised.
What kind of rhythm is this? This is great news for them!
But something is wrong. This battle has already been fought. With such a huge advantage, if the news could have been sent two days earlier, the outcome of this battle would have been earth-shaking compared to now.
After Yuan Shao heard this, he looked straight ahead blankly and still didn't say anything for a long time.
Finally, his body moved, but after a period of trembling, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and then he passed out.
This roller coaster is really too big for Yuan Shao to ride.
The most devastating thing is obviously not to make him lose hope, but to tell him after he has lost hope that you are actually very close to success, but you don't know it.
Who could bear this, let alone Yuan Shao, who was still very ambitious at the beginning.
After Yuan Shao fainted, Guo Tu immediately struck while the iron was hot and directly passed on Yuan Shao's order, ordering the remaining generals and sergeants to directly return to the court and return to Yecheng first.
After all, after Liu Xie was stolen by Jiang Dong, he felt that it would be impossible for Cao Cao to start encroaching on Yuan Shao's territory for a while.
Although Yuan Shao brought warmth to Cao Cao in this battle, the enemy of his enemy is his friend, and Jiang Dong also helped Yuan Shao breathe a sigh of relief in disguise.
The Battle of Guandu ended like this. This was supposed to be a battle for Cao Cao to unify the northern part of the Central Plains, but because of Sun Ce's move, it lost all its glory.
When Cao Cao received the news, he did not immediately explain the matter to his generals. After all, it was true that he had controlled Liu Xie for many years and did not even let him leave the palace.
There is nothing to be done about this kind of thing, and Cao Cao doesn't want to do it. Anyway, he has beaten Yuan Shao to his honesty this time. He also believes that with Sun Ce's ability in pacifying Jiangdong just now, it is impossible to attack the Central Plains immediately.
Idea, after all, it is impossible for Liu Xie to make Jiangdong's soldiers better at fighting.
Although Cao Cao didn't take the initiative to say it, the news spread pervasively, and soon, almost all the generals under Cao Cao knew about it.
On the way back to Xuchang, Zhang Liao also heard about this.
"Yun Chang, do you know why Sikong led his army back to Xuchang in a hurry after the victory?"
Seeing that Guan Yu still didn't know about this, and Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and other Cao Cao's clan members didn't want to tell Guan Yu about it, Zhang Liao came to Guan Yu's side and wanted to tell him about it. After all, without Liu Xie, he would have no control over Cao Cao.
His influence was huge. Many of the princes who were originally attached to him had no idea where they would go after the emperor was gone. After losing the battle with Yuan Shao, they almost lost the opportunity to immediately encroach on Yuan Shao's territory.
"I'm afraid someone is causing trouble in Xuchang, right? Otherwise, with Sikong's mind, it would be impossible for him to let Yuan Shao go."
Guan Yu still had no expression, but after listening to Zhang Liao's words, he showed no curiosity.
Zhang Liao shook his head slightly. He could naturally see that Guan Yu's thoughts were not on helping Cao Cao fight the war. However, Liu Bei was not as good as him now. He had no soldiers and no territory. How easy was it to make a comeback?
"Having said that, the loss for Sikong this time is not small. News has actually been sent to Xuchang. I guess this matter will not be a secret in two days. I, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, took advantage of Sikong
In the past few months when I sent troops to Guandu, I was somehow secretly kidnapped by Zhang Hong from Jiangdong. Now I have arrived in Wu County, and announced that I would move the capital to Wu County. I also issued a proclamation against Sikong. It is said that the words were very fierce..."
In Zhang Liao's opinion, Guan Yu probably wouldn't care about this kind of thing, but after he finished speaking, he turned around and saw that Guan Yu's face had changed drastically. His eyes, which were not big at first, were quite round. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with him.
There was some reaction to what he said.
"Yun Chang, there is no need to be excited. With Sikong's strength, even without His Majesty, there will be just a few more twists and turns. Yuan Shao is already in trouble after this battle. Although Jiangdong seems good, it is just a corner of the south."
"Your Majesty was kidnapped by Jiangdong. Is it just your Majesty or everyone in the palace?"
Guan Yu's expression didn't change much, but he asked such a sentence in a confused manner.
"This... I don't know, but I think only His Majesty was kidnapped. Zhang Hong will not be taken care of by anyone else, eh? Yun Chang?"
Before Zhang Liao could finish his words, Guan Yu had already grabbed the horse's belly and ran off somewhere.
Cao Cao was frowning and thinking about something in the carriage, when the guard's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Sikong, the general came outside the carriage and said he had something important to see Sikong."
"There is no one else in the carriage, let him in!"
Cao Cao's carriage was not only a place for him to rest during his march, but also a place for discussion when important matters came up.
In an instant, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Guan Yu was sitting opposite Cao Cao in a flash.
"Sikong, I heard that Your Majesty was plundered by Jiangdong people and moved to Wu County, and they have announced that they will move the capital. I wonder what the situation is like at the palace in Xuchang now. Are my two sisters-in-law still safe?"
Obviously, Liu Xie didn't play a very important role in Guan Yu's heart. What he really cared about was his two sisters-in-law.
Cao Cao did not get angry because of this, but shook his head slightly and said: "I only know a superficial knowledge. Xun Yu has not sent any specific letters. According to the current situation, everyone in the palace has been stunned. What specific letters are there?"
The number of people who were kidnapped has not yet been determined. I only know that they did not go on a killing spree in the palace."
Guan Yu was slightly relieved when he heard this, but he immediately said seriously: "Please allow Sikong to allow Guan Yu to be the front man and ride his horse back to Xuchang to find out what's going on!"
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this and said to himself that you have gone too far. Now I have even lost the emperor. I am worried. You are still here thinking about Liu Bei and the two women who he has almost forgotten. Isn't this salty?
Are you worried about eating carrots?
