Chapter 320: Look, that’s the King of Chu’s royal flag! ! !

"Your Majesty, I..."

"I am going to Yecheng to be a vassal..."

Outside the imperial city, Cao Mengde cried bitterly, seeming extremely sad.

Cao Cao is leaving!
It’s time to leave Xudu!
Extreme ecstasy surged into my heart!

Emperor Liu Xie was no fool. At the beginning, when Xu Chu led his troops to attack the imperial city, it was so dangerous that they could only hold out for one or two days at most.

As a result, the siege was stopped at the critical moment...

Zhuge Liang guessed at that time that there must be a change outside the city of Xudu, and Cao Mengde was just being cautious. Maybe the King of Chu had already arrived!

At that time, Liu Xie and other loyal officials of the Han Dynasty did not dare to believe it...

Until today, Cao Cao actually took the initiative to deliver food to the imperial city and even said that he wanted to go to the vassal state...

Obviously, during the time when Liu Xie and his men were defending the imperial city, something earth-shaking must have happened outside the city.

Just like the last time Liu Wu was able to enter Xuchang, it was all because he won the Battle of Xiangfan, forcing Cao Mengde to bow his head and reaching an agreement.

"Prime Minister Zhuge..." Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang on the side.

Kong Ming thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the King of Chu must have broken through Cao Mengde's Yinluo defense line, making the Central Plains flat and unable to stop the King of Chu's army..."

"As for Cao Mengde's request to be a vassal, it should be because he has reached a new agreement with the King of Chu. Cao Cao will let Your Majesty go, and the King of Chu will let Cao Cao go, allowing him to safely retreat to Hebei..."

"The Prime Minister is right." Liu Xie nodded. He guessed that this was probably what he meant, but he didn't think as exactly as Zhuge Liang did.

then,

Liu Xie stepped forward: "King of Wei!"

"Are you going to Yecheng?"

Cao Cao responded from outside the city: "Your Majesty is wise..."

At this moment, facing Liu Xie, Cao Cao could not stand up no matter what.

He bowed to Liu Xie and said, "I am leaving now. Your Majesty, take care."

Having said that, he turned around.

Wang Ni turned his head...

But at this time,

A voice suddenly rang out from the Imperial City:
"King Wei, think twice! Yecheng is the hometown of Yuan Benchu. Yan and Zhao are full of generous and tragic people. Hebei is unknown!"

It was Zhuge Liang...

Cao Cao turned his head, his eyes dark, "Zhuge, country bumpkin, stop barking like crazy!"

Kong Ming took a step back angrily.

Then the emperor Liu Xie came forward and saw him lying on the top of the city wall and said, "When I came out of Chang'an, I summoned Yuan Shao to welcome me, but Yuan Shao refused. Instead, the King of Wei personally welcomed me to Xudu. That's how the King of Wei used the emperor to control the princes, conquered the four directions and established such a great foundation."

"If Yuan Shao did not welcome me, he would end up with the collapse of his building, his death and the extinction of his clan..."

Cao Cao was trembling all over.

He turned and walked away.
I don’t want to listen! I don’t want to listen!
This emperor is really a villain who has achieved success and is extremely dissolute. How can he be like a supreme ruler?!

In comparison,

Cao Mengde even felt that Liu Wu outside the city of Xudu was much more pleasing to the eye.

However, before he could walk away, the emperor's voice came again:

"Even if the King of Wei doesn't say it, I know that the King of Chu has arrived outside the city of Xudu!"

"Now, the King of Chu has come to Xudu to welcome me!"

"The King of Wei abandoned me and fled to Ye City, following the example of Yuan Benchu. Aren't you afraid that he will also end up like Yuan Benchu, with his family and family destroyed?!"

Cao Cao, who was riding on the imperial carriage, felt a tightness in his chest and his face turned pale...

puff! ~
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Cao Mengde fainted on the spot and fell on the sedan chair...

"Lord!"

“King Wei!!”

"King Wei!"

"Send it to the doctor quickly!"

……

……

The next day,

Dawn.

In the imperial city,
Thanks to Cao Mengde's food donation yesterday, all the officials and soldiers in the imperial city finally had a full meal or two. They all felt much better.

In fact, starting from yesterday, Zhao Yun and others in the imperial city had discovered that there were fewer and fewer people in Xudu City. By the evening, not even a single soldier could be seen.

Many people stayed behind.
Most people in the imperial city knew that this was probably because Cao Mengde had already withdrawn from Xu Du.

But Cao Mengde was cunning and treacherous after all, and no one dared to take the risk. To be on the safe side, everyone stayed in the imperial city.

It was not until this time that Yang Biao, who was already quite old, climbed to the top of the city wall and found Zhao Zilong, who was in charge of the defense of the imperial city.

"General Zhao, we have been guarding the imperial city for more than a month, and our wives and children have suffered a lot..."

"It's not a solution to keep standing next to each other like this."

"Since Cao Mengde is likely gone, why not send two soldiers out to investigate the situation in Xuchang City and see if Cao Cao is really gone?"

"If that's possible, we can also send our wives and children home."

Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "Old Commandant is right. At daybreak, I sent out several of my trusted men to investigate. They should be back by now..."

"Okay!" Yang Biao was very happy.

Finally I can go home.

His old bones could not withstand the torture ever since he was tortured by Cao Mengde and escaped death but lost half his life.

During the more than one month in the imperial city, all because of his high reputation and credibility, each family gave him face and many things had to be coordinated by him, which really made him very exhausted!
"Okay, okay!"

"Now that Cao the thief is gone, I can go home too, hehe..." Yang Biao stroked his beard, with a smile on his face, and was about to go down the ladder along the wall.

Zhao Yun placed his bright silver spear on the edge of the city wall and stepped forward: "Old General, I will help you."

Yang Biao did not feel sorry for it and said with a smile: "General Zilong, your loyalty and bravery are known to the world."

"You are highly regarded by the Emperor, and the King of Chu respects you as his uncle. Your future is limitless..."

"You're still young."

"You are still young. You will achieve great things in the future. Whether it is the Emperor or the King of Chu, they will make use of you..."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment.

If Yang Biao hadn't reminded me...

He really hadn't thought about this.

Yes,

Now that Cao Cao has retired, Wu will have the final say in the future...

The Golden Summit agreement had been completely relaxed during the time of guarding the imperial city. Liu Wu was to be made the crown prince, no, Emperor Liu Xie meant to give up the throne directly!

For so long, it has been Zhao Yun who has been holding the city of Xudu. He is the only general, and he is trying his best to hold on with three hundred elite soldiers.

My future is truly limitless...

He recalled the first time he met Liu Wu. He was still a child, but he was carrying a bow and arrow and holding a spear...

"Yun really never thought that the child I watched grow up would actually become the emperor one day..." Zhao Yun now felt that it was a bit unrealistic: "It's fine if the King of Chu is not loyal and brave, but if he is reused, what should Yun do in the future? Please teach me, General Yang."

It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

Zhao Yun was asking Yang Biao for advice on how to get along with Liu Wu in the future.

Yang Biao smiled and said, "General Zilong, you, Zhang Yide, Guan Yu, Jian Yong, and the uncle-nephew relationship you have with the King of Chu is rare and precious. It does not need to change."

"But remember not to be arrogant and conceited, and to keep your family and children in check, and not to make things difficult for the King of Chu."

"In short, be a pure minister."

"But you must also be conscious of being an uncle in many matters. Out of love for your sons and nephews, you can use the troops and power in your hands to handle some difficult matters for the King of Chu, even if it is usurping the throne. This is the only way to show that you are different from other ministers..."

Zhao Yun smiled faintly: "Yun has learned from your teaching."

These words were asked by Zhao Yun.

However, Yang Biao was referring to people with special identities including Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Jian Yong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

They are Liu Bei's original shares, but not Liu Wu Xiling Group's original shares.
But here in Liu Wu's case, they are very capable and provided a lot of help in Liu Wu's rise.

In Liu Wu's faction, his seniority is not the most senior, but because of his relationship with Liu Wu's uncle and nephew, his generation is high...

In the future situation, it is extremely important for them to position themselves correctly.

At this moment,

A voice suddenly came from the top of the city: "Cao's army is back!"

"Cao's army is back!!"

"No,……"

"It's not Cao's army! It's Chu's army!"

"King of Chu, look! That's the king's flag!!!"
