The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 109 The whole Chang'an is a mess
There was not much contact between Xi Yu and Liu Bei.

He just heard that Liu Bei had planted seedlings in the yard, and he was a little curious, so he couldn't help but went to have a look.

Sure enough, Liu Bei actually planted peppers.

You know, in this era of the big man, there is no such thing as pepper.

I don't know how many years it will take for this thing to be introduced to China. It was not until the early Ming Dynasty that there was a large-scale pepper.

But now, Liu Bei has planted it by accident.

Xi Yu knew the role of chili peppers, so he was naturally not polite at all.

And thinking about it, in the original history, even if Liu Bei planted this thing, I'm afraid he didn't know the specific use of pepper.

Perhaps, it has been forgotten in the long river of history.

This is also normal.

After getting some peppers from Liu Bei, Xi Yu didn't take the initiative to visit him again in the following time.

And this time, Cao Cao knew more or less.

Cao Cao trusted Xi Yu very much and didn't ask too many questions.

He only knew that Xi Yu got something from Liu Bei, and Cao Cao felt more at ease after Xi Yu promoted the addition of chili peppers later.

This is of course a later story!

After leaving Liu Bei, until the end of the year, the whole Yanzhou was peaceful.

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, the new year has passed.

A new round of spring plowing has begun in a hurry!

And at the beginning of the year, the eyes of the princes from all over the Han Dynasty were all fixed on the Guanzhong area.

Don't know for what reason.

A gap began to appear between Guo Bang and Li Jue, who were stationed in the Sili area.

And as the gap grew wider and wider, a huge contradiction gradually emerged between the two.

Both wanted to take the Emperor Han as their own.

Perhaps it was because the eyes of the princes did not fall on the emperor in the past few years, which made the two people start to relax a lot.

The original alliance began to fall apart in an instant.

Up to now, within a period of time, the contradiction between the two began to grow bigger and bigger.

Within the Juancheng Government Office.

Not long after the new year, because of the matter between Guo and Li, even Xi Yu could only go to the government office to discuss matters.

These two people had the same hatred before, and the emperor of Han was under the control of the two, and it was difficult for other princes to intervene.

But now, with the beginning of a rift between the two, Cao Cao and the others saw a lot of opportunities.

In the government office, Xun Yu spoke first.

"My lord, Guo Si and Li Jue are fighting among themselves, this is the right time for us to meet the emperor!"

After Xun Yu's words fell, Xi Zhicai beside him also smiled.

"I heard that the emperor is about to return to the east at this time, and it is the right time for us to welcome the emperor!"

Cao Cao was also a little moved.

At the beginning, Xun Yu even talked about the benefits of catering to the emperor.

Naturally, Cao Cao also understood that if the emperor could be close in front of him, it would be much easier for him to do things.

It is even a very good thing to use the name of the emperor to crusade against other states.

Li Jue and Guo Si are in conflict!
Xi Yu is more or less clear about this matter.

If I remember correctly, probably just after the New Year's Eve, Fan Chou under Li Jue planned to lead the army eastward, and Li Jue was a little afraid that Fan Chou would become bigger.

After all, compared to Li Jue himself, Fan Chou's character in the entire Xiliang army is much better than him.

Fan Chou is more popular.

In addition, last year, when Ma Teng, Han Sui and others led an army to attack, Li Jue realized that Fan Chou intended to let Han Sui and others go, and he had already had some resentment towards Fan Chou.

After that, Li Jue and his nephew invited Fan Chou and Li Meng to the banquet.

As a result, Fan Chou and others didn't even know that what Li Jue was throwing was the so-called Hongmen Banquet.

At this banquet, Li Jue's nephew beheaded Fan Chou and others without hesitation.

After this incident, all the generals under Li Jue began to tremble with fear.

But Li Jue didn't care much about it.

His person and Guo Si are still the same as usual.

It's a pity that Guo Si's wife is jealous, and because Li Jue gave Guo Si a concubine before, she hates Li Jue.

Then began to sow discord between the two.

This gap appeared because of this, and because of Li Jue's beheading of Fan Chou and others, Guo Si was afraid that Li Jue would want to kill himself.

Therefore, the two began to fight.

And the fight between these two people naturally attracted the attention of all the princes in the world.

"I don't think it's time yet!"

Hearing that a group of people in the government office had already started planning how to cater to the emperor, Xi Yu couldn't help but say something out loud.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire lobby of the government office fell silent for an instant.

"What does Feng Yi mean by that?"

Cao Cao hurriedly asked Xi Yu.

"Everyone, although Li Jue and Guo Si started to fight this time, they don't seem to be hurting each other at this time!"

"If I have the intention of catering to the emperor this time, it is inevitable that the two will not be reunited!"

"After all, compared to the interests of the emperor, some misunderstandings are actually nothing!"

What Xi Yu said was extremely simple. Generally speaking, the problem between these two people is not a big deal.

There was still some friendship between the two of them before.

If there are other external forces appearing now, the two are likely to stand together again.

When these two stand together, the entire Sili area is under control, making it even more difficult for others to interfere in the affairs of the emperor!
For Xi Yu, the emperor himself will return to the east sooner or later.

Rather than intervene now, it is better to just wait like this, waiting for the emperor to walk out of Chang'an city by himself.

"Following what Yi said, there is some truth to it!"

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Cao Cao nodded.

The truth is correct, if other people make a move, it will be easy to reunite Li Jue and Guo Si who have already fought.

It's just that it's hard to let go of the opportunity to please the emperor!

"The emperor also wants to return to the east, but today's Luoyang is no longer the imperial capital of the past!"

"Now the emperor is in Chang'an, and it is difficult for our army to enter Chang'an. Why don't we wait for the emperor to come out by himself!"

Xi Yu explained casually.

"That's right, the Son of Heaven will return to the east sooner or later. Since he wants to return to the east, he must leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang!"

"When he leaves Chang'an, this is the real opportunity to meet the emperor!"

……

Sili, inside the city of Chang'an!
Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was only fourteen years old, was in the Chang'an Palace.

With the severe drought in Guanzhong, the daily food of the entire Chang'an Palace has been reduced a lot.

Li Jue and Guo Si treated him more and more like Dong Zhuo back then.

Liu Xie, who is getting older, knows that if he wants to get rid of the control of these two people, he can no longer stay in Chang'an.

He wants to go back to Luoyang, back to the original imperial capital.

If you want to reorganize the entire Han Dynasty, you must have someone you can really rely on.

Li Jue and Guo Si are all wolves.

"How did you discuss the matter of returning to the east?"

Liu Xie asked the attendant next to him, and the latter had an ugly expression on his face after hearing this.

Although the ministers in the imperial court were all in favor of returning to the east, Li Jue and Li Jue had to agree on this matter after all.

If these two people don't nod their heads, even though these people in the hall have intentions, they are powerless after all!

"Return to Your Majesty, the ministers are still discussing!"

The servant couldn't bear to say it bluntly, he didn't say much about the return to the east.

Liu Xie only thought that those people hadn't discussed the return journey yet.

Seemingly thinking of something again, Liu Xie couldn't help asking again.

"How is the situation of the people in Guanzhong? Why hasn't that Taicang order named Xi Yu come to the court to report on his duties?"

For Taicang Ling Xiyu, Liu Xie still kept it in his heart.

Now thinking of the disaster in the Guanzhong area, Liu Xie couldn't help but asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the disaster situation in various places has eased. The Taicang Order has not reported on his duties. It seems that he has been rushing to relieve the disaster."

……

Inside Li Jue's Mansion in Chang'an.

"General, it is now the time of spring plowing, but the people in Chang'an today are very rare. Most of the people have fled to other places because of the disaster!"

The general in charge of spring plowing under Li Jue was a little helpless.

Nowadays, the Chang'an area is full of deserted land. Because of the disaster last year, these people have almost fled years ago.

Now that it is the spring plowing season, very few people in Chang'an come out to plow.

Under such circumstances, how much harvest can this year's spring plowing have?
Even under such circumstances, if he continued to stay in Chang'an, he felt that it would be a dead end.

A dead end without the slightest life!
In comparison, Luoyang, the old capital, is much better than Chang'an after these years of recuperation.

"You mean you also agree with the return to the east that those ministers said?"

Li Jue glanced at the general under his command, but the latter remained silent and accepted it.

Seeing this situation, Li Jue took a deep breath.

He can see the current scene of Chang'an clearly.

However, right now he and Guo Si are having conflicts.

Although he controls the emperor, Guo Si will never sit idly by. If there is no resolution between the two this time, he will not leave Chang'an easily.

……

End of March!
Guo Si and Anxi General Yang Dingmou robbed Emperor Xian.

This matter happened extremely quickly, but it was a pity that Li Jue knew about it one step in advance.

He is closer to Emperor Xian Liu Xie.

Immediately, Li Jue welcomed Emperor Xian into his camp first.

The palace city of Chang'an was no longer stable, and Li Jue felt that it was better to keep the emperor by his side.

Right now, he and Guo Bang have begun to tear their skins apart, staring at the emperor, the precious bump.

For this reason, Li Jue ordered his soldiers to plunder the palace.

From it, he plundered the gold and silk of the imperial palace, Chengyu, car clothes and other utensils, and then imitated Dong Zhuo back then, directly setting fire to the palace, government, and private houses for a while.

The entire Chang'an City, which was built with great difficulty, was once again shrouded in fire.

After this incident, Liu Xie was in a bad mood.

At only 14 years old, he had already been robbed by Dong Zhuo once before, and after being robbed by Li Jue again, he was terrified.

He knew that Li Jue only cared about his own identity.

Although it will not lead to death, such a day is really too aggrieved.

Having had previous experiences, Liu Xie could only endure.

If you want to return to the east right now, the only way to get rid of the struggle between Li Jue and Guo Si, and only to leave the area of ​​Chang'an may be to usher in a new life.

Early April.

Liu Xie sent Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Zhang Xi and more than ten ministers to Guo Si to make peace for Li Jue. Now that he is in Li Jue's camp, he naturally wants to make Guo Si bow his head.

It's a pity that Guo Si didn't care at all when he heard Liu Xie's intention to persuade him to make peace. On the contrary, he conveniently detained Yang Biao and others in his camp.

"Guo Si, you are a minister of the Han Dynasty. Now that you don't respect the emperor's edict, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Inside Guo Si's camp.

Yang Biao, who is a Taiwei, was furious when he saw Guo Bang detaining them.

Blocking Guo Si's face, Yang Biao yelled at his opponent directly!

Hearing this, Guo Si was furious!

"Old man, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

To Guo Si, Yang Biao was nothing, and he was in his own camp, how could he let Yang Biao talk nonsense here.

The name of rebellion is too great.

Although some things are not much different from rebellion, Guo Si still dare not take on such a title.

Even Dong Zhuo didn't dare to directly express his intention to rebel.

Although what Dong Zhuo did was not much different from rebellion, there are still some things that cannot be said on the bright side.

Dong Zhuo's lessons learned are already there, and Guo Si feels that he is not a character like Dong Zhuo.

He just wants a certain figure to be rich!
Now the emperor asked him to bow his head to Li Jue, how could this be possible!

Li Jue wanted to kill him.

"Why, you and that Li Jue are like dogs, one of them robbed the emperor, and the other robbed the ministers. It's not a rebellion, so why?"

Yang Biao is still scolding!
Guo Bang couldn't bear it and pulled out the long knife from his waist. At this time, his generals quickly blocked Guo Bang.

"General, Yang Biao is the fourth generation and third prince at this time, and his reputation is very wide. If you kill him, you will have endless troubles!"

"General, you can't kill him. If you kill this person, the whole world might be punished!"

Hearing the remonstrance of the two people beside him, Guo Si resentfully suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Yang Biao's scolding was still the same, but at this moment, Guo Si was already suppressed by others.

"Order, raise troops, and today we will decide the winner with Li Jue!"

With anger in his heart, Guo Bang couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that the original good situation was all because of Li Jue.

But now, after all, Chang'an couldn't stay in this place.

Right now, he and Li Jue can only decide the outcome.

The winner will be able to leave Chang'an with the emperor Liu Xie and go straight to the old capital!
In mid-April, Guo Si led his army to attack Li Jue directly.

When the two armies attacked, Li Jue was wounded by a hidden arrow and lost to the enemy. If his general Yang Feng hadn't led troops to rescue him at the first time, Li Jue would have almost died because of it.

With Yang Feng's participation in the war, Guo Si had no choice but to retreat.

Li Jue then took Han Emperor Liu Xie to Chang'an Beiwu, and then isolated the inside and outside.

In this battle, there was still no winner or loser after all. Li Jue and Li Jue fought each other, and both of them were injured.

But such a situation is extremely difficult for Liu Xie.

Originally, Hao Duanduan could at least stay in Chang'an Palace. Although life was not very good, it was much better than it is now.

At least, you don't have to be held hostage to run around.

Later, Liu Xie couldn't help but asked the visitor servant She Huangfu Li to make peace with Li Jue and Guo Si.

However, because Li Jue was injured by a back arrow in the last battle, Li Jue refused to agree this time without waiting for Guo Si to respond.

Now that we are making peace, doesn't it mean that he is not as good as Guo Si?
The two still wanted to fight, and the chaos in Chang'an continued. Under the chaos, the people who had been living near Chang'an could no longer bear it.

In just one month, the people in Chang'an became less and less, and the corpses of soldiers exposed on the flat ground can be seen everywhere on the wilderness ground.

In May, because of holding Liu Xie hostage, Li Jue proclaimed himself the Grand Sima, and Liu Xie had nothing to do about it.

The Li Jue in front of him looked more and more like Dong Zhuo back then.

Self-proclaimed Great Sima, who is above the Sangong, is no different from Dong Zhuo who proclaimed himself Prime Minister.

"Li Jue!"

Inside the Beiwu house, Liu Xie looked at the servant in front of him, his teeth were about to bleed.

The valet at the side knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Now His Majesty's comfort rests entirely on this person. If His Majesty annoys the other party, it may cause disaster!"

Liu Xie trembled all over.

First there was Dong Zhuo, followed by Li Jue and Guo Si. Is there anyone in this world who is loyal to the imperial court?

Is there anyone who still thinks of him as the Son of Heaven?

"Tell me, what should I do?"

Liu Xie seemed to lose his voice. After saying this, the corners of his mouth opened several times in a row, but there was no sound at all.

Hearing the words, the servant at the side hurriedly spoke out.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao of Hebei is a man who wants to be a great man, and so is Cao Cao of Yanzhou!"

"I heard before that, when the Shi Changshi rebelled, it was these two people who were devoted to the Han!"

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao?
Liu Xie was a little dazed, where are these two people now?

"Your Majesty, you can send envoys to let these two people come to greet you!"

Welcome?

Liu Xie was a little dazed, then nodded helplessly!

"So, please invite these two people to come and welcome me back to the east!"

……

Liu Xie sent envoys to find Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but he and his servants took it for granted after all.

Now that Liu Xie is under the control of Li Jue, how can Li Jue not know about the news that he wants to send an envoy.

The so-called envoy didn't even leave the barracks, and his head was already hung on the east gate the next day.

The chaos in Chang'an changed too fast, Cao Cao and others in Yanzhou have been paying attention to the situation in Chang'an.

The battle between Li Jue and Guo Si became more and more intense, which was a very good thing for Cao Cao and others.

Cao Cao didn't care about the life and death of these two people.

The only thing he cares about is Liu Xie!

"Chang'an is quite lively!"

In the Juancheng Government Office, everyone in Cao Ying discussed business as usual.

When talking about the situation in Chang'an, Xi Zhicai couldn't help laughing.

In his opinion, the time to meet the emperor is not far away!
But now, in the entire Guanzhong area, apart from the battle in the barracks between Li Jue and Guo Si, there are very few ordinary people.

Under such circumstances, the two of them can't last long.
