Xu County, temporary palace.

After hearing the emperor's summons, Xi Yu followed the attendants and arrived at the palace in a hurry.

Regarding Liu Xie’s closeness in recent times.

Xi Yu instinctively resisted. No matter what purpose Liu Xie had in using the name of a relative, it was not a good thing for Xi Yu.

Being close to the emperor seems to be an extremely honorable thing.

However, people with a discerning eye can eventually see the complexity.

What's more, Xi Yu himself is extremely clear.

Sixteen-year-old Liu Xie looks like just a boy on the surface, but Xi Yu has never underestimated him.

Liu Xie is the emperor of the Han Dynasty after all.

What's more, a person who experienced Dong Zhuo's rebellion, moved the capital all the way, and was later treated as a puppet by Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Have you really made no progress in your heart over the years?

Shi Shu can only see that the other party is controlled like a puppet, but ultimately, he just doesn't have the corresponding opportunity!

Now that the capital has been moved to Xu County, how does Liu Xie view Cao Cao and his own situation?

Perhaps, only he himself knows.

But in the final analysis, he is just a teenager, and some of his methods are too immature.

Liu Xie got close to him just because he wanted to find someone to rely on!

It’s just that he chose the wrong person!

Although Xi Yu was somewhat resistant to Liu Xie's attempts to win over him, in fact, Xi Yu didn't have much opinion about him as a person.

After all, it’s just the time!

Entering the side hall, Xi Yu bowed and bowed to Liu Xie.

When the latter saw Xi Yu coming in, he took the initiative to greet Xi Yu with a smile on his face. This move showed a very obvious sense of intimacy.

After all, this is the emperor, and the significance of allowing the emperor to respond proactively is self-evident.

Xiyu sighed inwardly.

The boy in front of me was too deliberate after all.

Perhaps because I felt too uneasy after arriving in Xu County, the role of Yang Biao and others now seems a bit weak after all.

Now Liu Xie is eager to get help.

And he Xiyu seems to be a good candidate in Liu Xie's mind.

As if dealing with an errand, Xi Yu smiled on the outside, but dealt with Liu Xie reluctantly in his heart.

He didn't leave the palace until noon.

Not long after leaving the palace, Xi Yu met Cao Cao who was coming from the other side.

It's like, waiting for him specially.

"Fengyi just came out from His Majesty's place!"

Seeing Xi Yu, Cao Cao took the initiative to come over and ask.

Hearing this, Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at the other party: "Brother, are you also planning to see His Majesty?"

“I originally planned to go and see it, but now I don’t want to go!”

There was no concealment in Cao Cao's tone, and his words were extremely candid.

The play is clear.

Cao Cao's temperament is, after all, a bit suspicious. Although it is not as obvious as it was in the later period, it is still somewhat apparent now.

He didn't hide anything at all, he directly spoke out the reason why the emperor summoned him just now.

"Your Majesty seems to be trying to win over me. I think he just moved the capital to Xu County, so he feels a little uneasy in his heart!"

Xiyu shook his head and chuckled.

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, you have a lot on your mind. It seems that Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others have been giving advice to your Majesty!"

After all, Cao Cao didn't care much about a sixteen-year-old emperor.

The existence of Xi Yu made Cao Cao even more concerned.

If Xi Yu doesn't side with him, for Cao Cao, he has no way of knowing what will happen in the future.

It seems that since welcoming the emperor, some things have gradually begun to change.

However, the Fengyi in front of him seems to be the same as he saw it at the beginning.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but then he thought of the situation of Cao Hong and others, and couldn't help but explain to Xi Yu.

"Fengyi, I have already reprimanded Zilian and others for what they have done before. I hope Fengyi will not take it seriously!"

Cao Cao took the initiative to explain, but Xi Yu just waved his hand.

"Yu has never taken it to heart. When it comes to this matter, I still feel a little wronged to my brother!"

"How to talk about grievance?"

Cao Cao raised his voice.

It's just the position of a general. Xi Yu's advice is right.

Today's Cao army is not suitable for fighting Yuan Shao and others, and the so-called general is just a name in the final analysis!

If this title had been placed decades ago, Cao Cao might still be a little reluctant to give it up.

But now, in this short period of time, there are not a few people who have held Liu Xie's self-proclaimed general hostage.

This name is almost ruined now.

Furthermore, Cao Cao has now figured it out, what position does he need when the emperor is in his hands?

His current position as Sikong is enough for him to do many things.

"As long as you don't mind, brother!"

Xi Yu didn't say much, and Cao Cao next to him subconsciously glanced in the direction of the palace.

Liu Xie wanted to help the Han Dynasty, but the ability of a young emperor was limited after all.

Dong Cheng and others only focused on fighting for power and profit, and did not pay any attention to the current situation.

For Cao Cao.

Now, he only needs to enshrine Liu Xie, the emperor.

He will do the rest!

Seeing Cao Cao looking in the direction of the palace, Xi Yu also turned his eyes there.

Thinking of Liu Xie's obvious intention to win over, a figure couldn't help but appear in Xi Yu's mind.

The people of the Old Liu family are instinctive in winning people's hearts.

Whether it is Liu Bang, Liu Bei, or even Liu Xie now.

Not much different.

When thinking of Liu Bei, Xi Yu then thought of Liu Xie taking the name of his relative.

When it comes to relatives, the relationship between Mr. Liu's own relatives is naturally closer than his.

Or?

Let Liu Bei come over?

As for whether Liu Bei is a descendant of the Queen of Han Dynasty, although there is much debate in later generations, Xi Yu feels that Liu Bei is not pretending to be.

There are too many descendants of the Liu family.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the order of favor, the number of descendants of the old Liu family has naturally increased from generation to generation.

But the title keeps getting lowered.

In this era, it is not a big name.

In Liujia Village, where Liu Bei's hometown lives, if a brick is thrown down, no one will be a descendant of the Han Dynasty Empress.

Even Liu Xiu of Guangwu Zhongxing did not have much higher status at the beginning.

Liu Bei’s Han clan identity.

It was only after the rise of power that the identity of this descendant of the Han Dynasty was regarded more highly.

When such an idea came to mind, Xi Yu felt more and more feasible.

If you recruit Liu Bei to Xu County and let Liu Bei deal with Liu Xie, then he will naturally have a lot less trouble.

No matter how Liu Xie and Liu Bei recognized their relatives, it was still something like that.

Or he has no interest in issuing any kind of clothing and belt edict.

Thinking like this, Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Cao Cao in front of him.

"Brother, it seems that Liu Bei is still in Juancheng now. Your Majesty is young and has no relatives, so you might as well recruit him!"

Liu Bei?

Hearing Xi Yu suddenly mention Liu Bei, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that there was such a person.

After he placed Liu Bei in Juancheng before, he did not take care of him again.

Now I suddenly heard Xi Yu say this.

He subconsciously glanced at Xiyu.

"Fengyi has found a relative for His Majesty?"

"Brother is joking!"

Xi Yu was a little helpless, why did Liu Xie keep getting involved with him?

He doesn’t want to bear the name of this relative.

"I heard that Liu Bei was very stable a while ago, since I brought him up for justice."

"Then bring him to Xu County!"

Cao Cao did not have any objections to Xi Yu's idea of ​​recruiting Liu Bei to Xu County. On the contrary, he fully approved of it.

In Cao Cao's view, Liu Bei is still a capable guy after all.

Now because of the emperor, Cao Cao has placed his political focus on Xu County, and the original Juancheng has become a remote place.

Bringing Liu Bei to Xu County was considered under his nose.

Even if the other party has great abilities, he can't make the slightest splash.

"Brother, Liu Bei still has some abilities after all. Since he has been recruited to Xu County this time, brother cannot let him leave this place easily."

Speaking of Liu Bei, Xi Yu couldn't help but remind Cao Cao.

After all, Cao and Liu will be their biggest rivals in the future.

Now that Liu is under Cao Cao's control and he is on Cao Cao's side, there are some things that should be reminded.

Of course, he did not bluntly say that Liu Bei will be Cao Cao's biggest opponent in the future.

You must really say this.

If Boss Cao is not sure, he will not recruit Liu Bei to come to Xu County. Instead, he will send 500 swordsmen and ax men to attack Liu Bei's head overnight.

Xi Yu’s impression of Liu Bei is not bad.

In his opinion, whether Cao Cao or Liu Bei were born at this time, sometimes, some things were not their choice.

It is the choice of the background of the times and the steel torrent of the general trend of the times that pulls the two of them forward.

In the end, we came to two opposite sides.

Did Liu Bei do anything wrong?

Not really!

Regardless of whether the benevolence and righteousness shown by the other party is true or false, what is recorded in the history books is that the other party has practiced these two words throughout his life.

Where is Cao Cao!

Some people say that he was cruel and would massacre cities at every turn, causing a lot of killings.

But, when it comes down to it, Cao Cao is not the kind of murderous person.

……

The two of them walked together. Xi Yu didn't care whether Cao Cao took Xi Yu's reminder to heart.

It’s time to remind you that what choice Cao Cao will make is his own subjectivity.

Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at the Xu County Government Office.

"I've seen Sikong, I've seen Da Si Nong!"

After the emperor decided to move the capital, the original government offices in Xu County also expanded a lot.

When Xi Yu and Cao Cao arrived at the government office, the clerk passing by the door quickly greeted them.

Entering the government office is a long winding corridor, and there are many officials walking in the corridor at this time.

Seeing Cao Cao and Xi Yu coming in, the people in the corridor consciously stood aside.

The two passed through the corridor and soon arrived at the main hall of the government office.

"Ming Gong, Fengyi, you are here!"

In the main hall, Xun Yu was sitting at the desk at the side, flipping through the memorial. When he saw the two people coming in, he took the initiative to say hello.

The voices nearby who were discussing things also stopped.

The two nodded, looking at the pile of letters in front of Xun Yu that had now been completely replaced by paper, and the corners of their mouths raised slightly.

Nowadays, the scale of paper has reached mass production.

The bamboo slips that originally recorded the text have been completely replaced.

Cao Cao was sitting in the first place, and Xun Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao.

"Ming Gong, we were just discussing the renaming of Xu County. Now that the emperor has moved the capital, the name of Xu County is no longer appropriate!"

Xun Yu took the initiative to speak. Hearing that they were discussing the name of the imperial capital, Cao Cao nodded subconsciously.

"If you have any suggestions, you might as well tell them and listen!"

As Cao Cao finished speaking, several new names for Xu County were mentioned in the main hall in an instant.

When Xi Yu heard these names, he didn't hear Xuchang being called.

That’s right!

Originally, the name of Xu County had to wait until Cao Pi took charge.

"We might as well change our name to Xuchang!"

After hearing the names proposed by others, Xi Yu also spoke up and gave some advice.

As Xiyu spoke.

The word Xuchang then appeared in everyone's ears.

"Xuchang?"

Cao Cao muttered the word "Xuchang" at the corner of his mouth, feeling that the name Xi Yu mentioned was not bad.

The word Xu is taken from the original name of Xu County.

Chang means prosperity and vigorous development.

That sounds pretty good!

"Xuchang is not bad!" Xun Yu nodded, somewhat agreeing with the name.

When people around heard this name, they didn’t have much objection.

The names we were originally arguing over are no longer in dispute.

"Okay, let's call it Xuchang!"

Cao Cao opened his mouth and immediately decided to call him Xuchang.

After the title of the imperial capital was decided, Xiyu just listened from the sidelines.

Yuan Shao's matter in the north has been temporarily resolved.

The most immediate problem now is Yuan Shu in the south. In this regard, Cao Cao has sent Cao Ren and others to fight against Yuan Shu.

It’s not a big problem.

The rest are some trivial matters in the new capital, as well as the issue of how to resettle the people since the beginning of winter.

The fire in the house was very bright, and Xi Yu felt drowsy after listening to it.

At the same time, Cao Cao also issued an edict for Liu Bei to enter Xu County to meet the emperor.

……

Juancheng, within Liu Bei’s residence.

As the center of Cao's camp moved to Xu County, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others gradually came into contact with Liu Bei.

Everyone wanted Liu Bei to leave Juancheng, but it was a bit troublesome to do it.

However, we didn’t wait until the plan was discussed.

The edict summoned by the Emperor of Xu County has already arrived in front of Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty has summoned me?"

After receiving the emperor's edict, Liu Bei was somewhat caught off guard.

Right now, he is under Cao Cao's control, and it won't be too long, but under such circumstances, he can't do anything.

Like a bird in a cage.

Originally, Liu Bei had already planned with Sun Qian and others how to leave Juancheng.

However, before the plan could be implemented, the emperor's edict was now received!

"Brother, let me see. There is no need to accept this edict. Let's just rush out of Juancheng and go all the way south!"

After seeing the edict, Zhang Fei shouted directly.

Guan Yu did not speak.

This is the emperor's edict. Although he knows that this may be what Cao Cao means, there is no way to refuse such an edict.

The ideal of their group is to help the Han Dynasty. Now that the emperor calls, how can they refuse.

Liu Bei was a little silent, but Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others who came up were in a different mood.

After the emperor summons Liu Bei and meets him, he will definitely be rewarded.

On the surface, this matter seems to have more advantages than disadvantages.

Today's Liu Bei's reputation in the entire Han Dynasty is still a bit shallow after all.

If it can be endorsed by the emperor, the benefits to Liu Bei will naturally be self-evident.

But there are also disadvantages to this matter.

That is, once Liu Bei enters Xu County, he may be in a dilemma than before when he stayed in Juancheng.

Once in Xu County, Liu Bei cannot leave if he wants to.

What's more, the place where the emperor is located is itself a complex whirlpool.

"My lord, this is not a bad thing. Since the emperor has called me, my lord may not be able to refuse. Moreover, this time the emperor calls me, my lord's reputation will definitely increase!"

Sun Qian remonstrated, and Mi Zhu who came up also nodded.

Although Liu Bei was previously known as Xuzhou Mu, this title was never recognized by the emperor or the court.

The title of Yuzhou Governor is insignificant to all the princes in the world.

What's more, Yuzhou is not under Liu Bei's control at all.

Tao Qian reported that he was the governor of Yuzhou, but he had no title.

If the emperor summons him, Liu Bei's status will inevitably rise with the tide.

The growth of Liu Bei's status means that his future prospects will inevitably be broader.

Beside Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, they stared at Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei is very carefree.

Liu Bei's mood was a little complicated at this time.

He knew that once he left, he would become a caged bird, and it was still unclear when he would be able to escape from the cage.

Moreover, Cao Cao and others will definitely not let him go easily.

However, the emperor has already summoned him, and if he doesn't go, he will naturally fall into the trap of others.

This is something that cannot be refused.

"Brother, why are you so hesitant? If you don't plan to go, my second brother and I will follow you out of Juancheng. By then, the world will be so big that there will be no place for us to stay?"

Seeing Liu Bei's sad face, Zhang Fei couldn't help but speak again.

After a pause, he continued.

"If the eldest brother decides to go, even if Xu County is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, no matter what, my second brother and I will accompany you. If there is any danger, my second brother and I will be by your side."

Zhang Fei's meaning was clear, and Liu Bei was helpless after hearing this.

Since he knew that going to Xu County was not a good choice, how could he be willing to let Guan and Zhang follow him?

He knew that Cao Cao would not target him at will, but his personal life would definitely be restricted.

And what he can rely on is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others.

"Yun Chang, Yide!"

Liu Bei looked at his two brothers seriously, his expression at this moment was particularly solemn, and he felt a bit entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"I don't plan to take you two with me to Xu County this time. This time, I will definitely be a bird in a cage and a fish in a pond!"

"You two can leave Juancheng here and go south. If I get out of trouble in the future, I will definitely rely on you two!"

After saying this, Zhang Fei was about to refute, but Guan Yu reached out and pulled him.

Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian again.

"Gongyou, you will be following Yun Chang and Yide this time. They both need to take care of you!"
