Chapter 184 182. Similar but not exactly the same process (Supplement 1! Please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Upon hearing that Cao Cao had returned his troops, other aristocratic families in Xuchang City who were still concerned about the situation immediately stopped and pretended to be well-behaved.

And the story that Cao Cao was so tired that he fainted on his horse also spread.

…

Prince's Mansion.

After Wang Can heard the whole story, he greeted his clan brother and said, "Thank you for this time, brother."

"It doesn't matter. Now that things have come to this, what are Zhong Xuan's plans?" Wang Zhao asked.

"The thief Cao has come back, Can, it's time to leave." Wang Can's eyes also looked a little more tired.

"In that case, let's take advantage of today." Wang Zhao thought for a while and said, "The gates of Xuchang City have been opened. Cao Cao is tired and fainted again. No one cares about other things for the time being. It is a good time to leave the city."

"Then, sorry for bothering you, brother."

"It's not troublesome. Otherwise, when Cao Cao reacts, Xu Du's side may be in trouble for a while."

Wang Canmo, yes, those old friends of his, those who didn't take action, forget them, and those who did, they are probably all thinking about how to get out of the city right now.

…

Xudu is sixty miles away.

Seeing that it was getting late, Huang Yueying temporarily ordered the camp to be set up.

This time, Cai Mao also planned to go back to Jingzhou with her, so there were a lot of people, and there were even more luggage and other things.

From yesterday to today, Huang Yueying was thinking that Cao Cao was really lucky. Jia Xu, who was supposed to go to Guandu with Cao Cao in history, was actually in Xuchang.

Xun Yu could not do such a thing as holding the emperor hostage.

Only Jia Xu didn't have much respect for the emperor.

From the time of Dong Zhuo, he had seen how the emperor was bullied and persecuted by the powerful ministers. Of course, he would not have any scruples when he started to attack, as long as he kept the emperor's life.

It can be said that in her plan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and even Huo Jun were all supposed to have made great achievements in this battle, but they were completely ruined by Jia Xu's actions.

This time, the Jingzhou soldiers suffered nearly 3,000 casualties.

Most of the people died.

Therefore, the soldiers retreated on the second day because they still had to collect the dead.

As for the details of this battle, Huang Yueying also wrote a memorial and sent people to Xiangyang quickly. She only hoped that Liu Biao would not be too disappointed.

She also mentioned Liu Bei's affairs in the memorial, saying only that Liu Bei was determined to rely on Liu Biao.

As for how to make a decision, it is up to Liu Biao himself.

…

Late October, Xiangyang.

Some details about the two battles in the north also reached Jingzhou.

Xu You surrendered to Cao Cao before the battle, so Cao Cao divided his troops and burned Wuchao. The fire burned hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass, and finally decided the direction of the battlefield.

In the Battle of Xuchang, Jia Xu coerced the emperor, which was also "famous".

"After this war, Cao's thieves will become stronger and stronger, but it's a pity that Mr. Yuan..."

"Speaking of the war between Cao and Yuan, do you still remember Mr. Xiao's assertion last year?"

"Hiss... Cao Cao's thief used less to defeat more. Mr. Cao really guessed it!"

"The little gentleman is really strategizing and anticipating the enemy first. There is a little gentleman in Jingzhou who has nothing to fear from foreign enemies."

"Yeah, it's a pity..." Someone else shook his head.

"Brother, why are you sighing?"

"A few months ago, Jingzhou Mu took Mr. Xiao as the commander-in-chief and joined forces with General Zuo to attack Xudu in order to welcome the emperor..." the man said.

"What was the result?"

"With the young gentleman taking action... there should be no problem, right?"

"Unfortunately, one move was missing. The plan that should have succeeded was forced to fail because the Han thief Jia Wenhe kidnapped the emperor and went to the city gate tower." The man explained.

"Brother, how do you know this?"

"My father is a book clerk in the Prefecture Mufu..."

"That's it! Hate that Han thief Jia Wenhe!"

"I heard that this person is from Liangzhou. When the traitor Dong came to court, he coerced the emperor with the traitor Dong. Later, he worked with Li Jue and others. Last year, he was still working as a counselor under the rebel general Zhang Xiu..."

"this……"

"As a result, last year, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao and dedicated Wancheng to Cao's thieves. If General Wenpin hadn't taken action, Wancheng would not have been able to get it back."

"It's really hateful!"

"The young gentleman once said that this man has been a traitor to the Han Dynasty for a long time. It is really appropriate!"

"It's true!"

Dong Zhuo was recognized as a Han thief. He followed Dong Zhuo to do bad things at that time. In the eyes of the scholars in Jingzhou, he was a full-fledged rebel thief.

…

Huang Yueying and his party finally rushed back to Xiangyang from Xudu after nearly twenty days of marching.

Soldiers and horses are tired, and so are the people.

When Liu Bei was coming to Xiangyang, Liu Biao went out to welcome him thirty miles away to express his importance.

Thirty miles outside Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao took Liu Bei's hand, and the two middle-aged and elderly people looked at each other speechlessly, with tears in their eyes, only regretting that the battle of Xuchang had failed.

"My dear brother Xuande has arrived in Jingzhou safely, so I can rest assured as a brother."

"Thank you, brother Jingsheng." Liu Bei expressed his sincere thanks.

At this time, he was naturally grateful to be able to treat him with such a great courtesy. Didn't he see that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both satisfied?

Liu Biao's idea was that Jingzhou was short of generals.

Yes, he is eyeing the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.

Although Liu Bei was General Zuo and the Shepherd of Yuzhou, Liu Bei also fought all the way and his body and bones were much better than his.

Not to mention Guan Yu, who took the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops.

"Get into the carriage with my brother and return to Xiangyang!"

"This... must never be done!"

"Hey, dear brother, you don't have to be so polite!"

Liu Bei couldn't resist, so he had to get into the chariot with Liu Biao.

Then, the army returned to the city.

Huang Yueying saw the appearance of these two "brothers" and knew what Liu Biao was thinking. She estimated that Liu Biao would have to ask her some questions alone when she returned to the city.

…

State Shepherd's Office.

Liu Biao prepared a welcome banquet for Liu Bei. During the banquet, he reflected on the prestige of the Han Dynasty and lamented the decline of the Han Dynasty.

The two brothers scolded Cao Cao and Jia Xu again...

Huang Yueying was shocked when she saw that, because these two people were not the only ones crying and cursing at the same time. The slightly older officials all had red eyes and were filled with anger...

Only then did she understand how much these old people recognized the Han Dynasty.

Originally, the destiny of the Western Han Dynasty was exhausted, but later, Liu Xiusheng opened up the Eastern Han Dynasty and renewed the destiny of Liu Han's branch.

This makes many people feel that this world should belong to the Liu family, otherwise Liu Xie would not still be alive at this time.

Thinking of this, she was sure that if her plan was to be completed, she would really need a spokesperson.

Don't you see, in the end, Cao Cao will only become the king of Wei?

And she was also lucky that Liu Bei had initially passed the test. Otherwise, she would have had to build another stove, which would have been too troublesome.

So, while eating the meat, she thought about the person in her hands:

Pang Shanmin, Zhang Zhongjing, Huang Yin, Gan Ning, Huo Jun and others, as well as foreign aid boss Zhuge.

The number of people seemed to be quite large, but her stall was also open.

It's time to fool the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang again.
