At this time, Cao Cao was really annoyed. He was even more upset that he shouldn't have believed in Xu Chu's IQ and should have made it clear to him.
It was not easy to get rid of Pretender Emperor with the help of Dong Cheng Military Coup. If he were to enter the city again, it would be extremely difficult to get rid of him.
And he will continue to bear the infamy of supporting Pretender Emperor!
Xu You's eyes moved slightly, and he suggested. "In that case, Aman, why don't you just stop doing it and kill him!"
"Absolutely not!"
Cao Cao didn't even think about it, just shook his head and refused. "Killing this Pretender Emperor will do me a lot of harm but no good, and so many people have seen it. Once this matter gets out, what should I do if someone makes a fuss about it?"
"Pretender Emperor cannot be killed, let alone die on my territory!"
Why doesn't he want to kill Emperor Xian of Han to avoid future troubles? But he doesn't want to do such a thing that has only disadvantages but no benefits.
I can only think of other ways.
Xu County East Gate.
Emperor Xian of Han stayed until Outside the City called the door until his voice became hoarse and the sky turned dark, but he still stubbornly refused to leave.
Late autumn has arrived, and the nights are deeply cold.
Emperor Xian of Han couldn't help but shiver from the cold even when he was hiding in the car. Although he was very sleepy, he still didn't dare to sleep for fear that City Gate would open as soon as he fell asleep.
He has made up his mind and has been waiting for Outside the City!
He didn't believe that Cao Cao would watch him die here!
Just when Emperor Xian of Han was thinking this, he suddenly heard a heavy sound of opening the door. He felt happy and quickly got out of Carriage.
Then he saw a man walking out holding a torch.
It is Cao Cao!
Emperor Xian of Han was very surprised when he saw this. He quickly jumped off Carriage and rushed forward and said excitedly, "Minister of Works, you are finally willing to come out to see me! I knew you wouldn't ignore me!"
"Are you here to welcome me into the city?"
After experiencing Dong Cheng, Lü Bu, and Cao Xing, he now feels extremely kind to Cao Cao - this is the person who is truly good to him!
Looking at Emperor Xian of Han, who was exuding a sour smell and looking miserable, Cao Cao's eyes turned cold and he threw away his hand expressionlessly.
Emperor Xian of Han was stunned and said, "Minister of Works What does this mean..."
Cao Cao's reaction made him feel something was wrong.
Why... so cold?
Hearing Emperor Xian of Han's words, Cao Cao said expressionlessly, "You and Dong Cheng teamed up with Military Coup to kill me. It's a mercy for me to let you go."
"I don't care whether you are Pretender Son of Heaven or the real Pretender Emperor, Xu County, I can't tolerate you, Yan Province, Yu Province can't tolerate you either!"
"If you are willing to leave, I will give you enough food and accommodation, and secretly send someone to escort you away; if you don't want to... then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Cao Cao put his hand on Sword's waist.
The murderous intent was evident in his eyes.
After much thought, he felt that the most appropriate way was to come out to see Pretender Emperor in person and stop this guy from entering the city. Otherwise, he didn't know how long this guy would stay in Outside the City.
If it takes a long time, it will be difficult for him to hide it, and the officials in the city will definitely know about it, and then he will be in trouble.
"You, you..."
Emperor Xian of Han was shocked by Cao Cao's words. He did not expect that Cao Cao did not come to welcome him into the city, but forced him to leave.
After reacting, Emperor Xian of Han cried and said, "Minister of Works, please listen to my explanation. It is really Dong Cheng that Traitor hijacked me to launch Military Coup. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Minister of Works Just let me enter the city! I will listen to you in everything from now on. Whatever you want Imperial Edict I will do Imperial Edict. Official Post I will ban whoever you want!"
"By the way, Grand General! How about I designate Minister of Works as Grand General? Grand General is also Grand Marshal, and Noble Rank is also promoted to the rank of Duke!"
"Plus Nine Bestowments, Granted Yellow Battle-Axe, Receiving Court Greetings Without Being Named, Establishing a Secretariat and Three Excellencies!"
"If you want to be Yi Yin, I will let you be Yi Yin. If you want to be Huo Guang, I will let you be Huo Guang."
Emperor Xian of Han pulled Cao Cao's sleeves and begged.
At this time, he also mentioned all the rewards he could imagine, and even promised Cao Cao that he would be Powerful Minister, hoping to impress Cao Cao and agree to let him enter the city.
But every time he said Cao Cao, his expression became uglier.
In the past, such a reward Son of Heaven would have made him so happy that he could not sleep. Yi Yin, how beautiful it sounds.
But now it just sounds harsh to him!
He is rewarded like this by Pretender Emperor, and he doesn't want to live anymore?
Not to mention how Son of Heaven on the other side of Ye City will react, just this extremely arrogant reward is enough to make the princes in the world excited!
"Shut up!"
Cao Cao interrupted Emperor Xian of Han's plea with a loud shout, and angrily shouted, "Dog-Foot Zhen! I have warned you again and again, do you really think I dare not kill you!"
As he spoke, he drew out a section of his sword.
Show off your edge!
Emperor Xian of Han was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. He looked at Cao Cao who was filled with murderous intent in front of him. He knew that it was impossible to enter the city, so he could only turn around and stagger towards Carriage.
But before he took two steps, he fell to the ground and cried loudly, "If you let me go, where can I go?"
"Lü Bu wants to kill me, Pretender Emperor wants to kill me, Yuan Shao wants to kill me, and now even you want to kill me!"
"I, what on earth did I do wrong!"
Emperor Xian of Han cried extremely sadly. Imperial Palace was in the city. His ministers and Imperial Consorts were all in the city, but he could not enter the city. This despair and helplessness made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Although he didn't do anything wrong, he could never understand that as Son of Heaven, especially Age of Chaos Son of Heaven, incompetence is the biggest fault!
Cao Cao sighed, sheathed his sword, stepped forward and said patiently to Emperor Xian of Han: "Listen to me, Xu County is not a place for you to stay for a long time."
"You go west along Official Road, go to Jing Province to look for Liu Biao, he is Han House clansman, will he kill you? He will definitely respect you."
"When it comes to Jing Province, if you miss these Imperial Consorts in Xu County, just send Imperial Edict over and I promise to send it to you."
Liu Biao will use Pretender Emperor's reputation to do something after getting Pretender Emperor, but Cao Cao can no longer control it. Anyway, the biggest reaction must be Son of Heaven of Ye City.
And his main target right now is Yang Province.
In the future, we can also fight against Jing Province in the name of Rally to the King or Liu Biao False Son of Heaven.
Emperor Xian of Han gradually stopped crying, with a complicated look on his face, and after a long sigh he said, "I understand, Minister of Works take care of yourself, I... will miss you."
Cao Cao's eyes jumped hard when he heard this.
He returned to the city and handed the clothes and food he had prepared in advance to Emperor Xian of Han, and then gave them to Carriage.
Watching Emperor Xian of Han driving Carriage, heading towards Jing Province alone, I let out a long sigh of relief.
You Province, Yi City.
Yuan Shao has led troops to withdraw from Ji County to this important border town. It is not because he does not want to continue retreating to Ji Province to support Yuan Tan, but the casualties are too great.
On the way back from Yuyang Commandery, Black Mountain Army launched all kinds of ambushes and attacks on them like crazy, causing heavy casualties and leaving them injured.
Night attack, Fire Attack, flooding, Fire Horses rushing into formation... etc., Black Mountain Army has used all kinds of offensives, and they will always attack when they least expect it.
Now, of the 30,000 troops and horses, more than 10,000 have been lost.
The casualties on the Black Mountain Army's side were as high as tens of thousands!
But this still couldn't stop Black Mountain Army's crazy attack. Just before they struggled to withdraw Yi City, they suffered a desperate attack from the Black Mountain Army, causing thousands of losses.
Now Yuan Shao is a little afraid to leave the city.
"These damn thieves! Are they all crazy? Or is Yellow Turbans showing signs of recovery again? Do they all believe that they are invulnerable? None of them are afraid of death!"
Yuan Shao was so angry that he kept yelling inside Prefect's Residence.
He was really driven crazy by these Black Mountain Army thieves. His army attacked Ji County without many casualties, but was damaged on the way back!
And the losses amounted to tens of thousands!
Facing Yuan Shao's anger, Yan Liang, Ju Yi and other generals all looked bitter. They had also suffered a lot from the Black Mountain Army during this period.
This group of thieves is really too crazy.
Tian Feng said with a heavy face, "Black Mountain Army's purpose is to delay us from going to rescue Qing Province! Lü Bu must be connected with the Black Mountain Army and promised them benefits, otherwise how could these gangsters be willing to risk their lives like this."
Black Mountain Army only harassed them before, but when they started to retreat, they launched a crazy attack. This intention was too obvious.
Obviously you don't want them to evacuate from You Province easily.
Its purpose is self-evident.
Yuan Shao looked ugly, got up and shouted angrily, "Never mind! We will march again tomorrow! As long as we leave You Province's territory, I don't believe these thieves dare to chase Hejian!"
"If they dare to pursue you, they will die!"
The reason they were defeated in You Province was firstly because Black Mountain Army was good at sneak attacks and risking his life, and secondly because Black Mountain Army would hide inside the Taihang Mountains if he couldn't defeat him. Even if he had a large army, he couldn't do anything against those guys.
But now we have arrived at Yi City, and will soon enter the territory of Ji Province. That is his territory, and he wants to see how rampant these bandits are!
If he dares to continue the attack, he will make it impossible for the Black Mountain Army to come back!
"Report--!"
At this moment, Lü Xiang hurriedly entered Prefect's Residence Council Hall and said to Yuan Shao, "Grand General! General Jiang Qi is here!"
"Jiang Qi?"
Yuan Shao's face changed slightly. Wasn't Jiang Qi sent by him to guard Qing Province with Yuan Tan? Could something have happened?
"Bring it here quickly!"
"No!"
Lü Xiang stepped back, and after a moment he and Jiang Qi entered Council Hall. Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Qi, and then they couldn't help but be surprised.
Because the armor on Jiang Qi's body was covered with knife marks, and his arms were still wrapped with gauze. It looked like he had experienced a brutal fight and was seriously injured.
Yuan Shao became increasingly uneasy and immediately asked, "Why did you come here alone? Qing Province How is the battle going? Where is Xiansi?"
