The carriage was walking rumbling on the bumpy road, and Liu Xie collapsed in the carriage, looking desperate. Empress Fu and Concubine Dong, who were with him, said words to comfort him from time to time.

Liu Xie suddenly burst into laughter, which scared Empress Fu and Concubine Dong. Liu Xie said as if he was enlightened: "I understand, understand... I understand how Liu Bei thought." "I'm wrong. I'm not wrong in doubting King Liang Feng Yu, but that no one including Liu Bei can believe it!"

Behind Cao Ren, Liu Xie and his party, Liu Bei's army also headed towards Wancheng in the opposite direction. Guan Yu threw the big knife to his personal guard Zhou Cang, and rode his horse dejectedly behind his big brother's butt.

Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu was unhappy and said with a smile: "Second brother, are you still blamed Gu for not taking action to rescue Liu Xie?"

Guan Yu replied in a muffled voice: "Brother..., King, how can you, this strange king? Yun Chang was not very concerned about the fate of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. But Yun Chang still didn't understand. What kind of benefits does this do to the king to our Linjiang Kingdom?"

Liu Bei laughed twice and said, "Is it for Linjiang Kingdom and for the future of our three brothers that Cao Ren took away the Han Dynasty and all officials?"

Guan Yu still asked with a puzzled expression: "How can I explain this?"

"Think about it, if we force the emperor back from Cao Ren, how will the situation in the world change?"

Guan Yu said on the back of his head: "Of course we are enemies of Cao Wei, but so what? The Wei State is strong. But if we stand on the moral side of supporting the Han Dynasty, the Wu State can still help us. Then what can Cao Cao do to me?"

Liu Bei sneered: "You forgot that there is Liang State!"

Guan Yu suddenly realized: "The king is afraid that the two rebels, Liang and Wei, will merge?"

"Yes, now the four major princes in the world are the strongest, among which Liang and Wei are the strongest. Together, they can easily defeat the Han Dynasty, as well as our Linjiang and Wu Kingdom. If we force the emperor to rescue the emperor, it means that the world is divided into two major forces, supporting Han and anti-Han. Although the Liang and Wei Kingdoms who were anti-Han and not necessarily united, as long as they are enemies with us, we will be in the dilemma of confronting the two fronts and strong enemies. What's more, it is not clear whether Wu can truly support Han with us."

Guan Yu continued to ask, "Will Cao Cao hold the emperor into his hands? Can he use the emperor to order the princes and let his elder brother and Sun Wu obey him in the name of the Han Dynasty?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he burst into laughter and said, "This is the result of Gu's desire. Cao Cao hosted the emperor and asked Gu and Sun Ce to see the imperial edict as issued by Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor. Then we will worship the imperial edicts that we are willing to, and we will not worship the imperial edicts that we do not want to. In this way, we can act freely without losing morality. Liang State has the greatest power. If Cao Cao takes the lead and unite us and Wu State to attack Liang State in the name of the Han Dynasty, and destroy it. Why don't you do it?"

Guan Yu said little, "My brother is meticulous. But it's still a pity. If we arrived in Wandu early, enter Wancheng before Feng Yu and Cao Ren attacked, and killed Feng's thief. In this way, the court is in our hands. If the eldest brother joins the three families to defeat Liang in the name of the Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be more beneficial to my Linjiang Kingdom?"

Liu Bei thought about it, then smiled indifferently and said, "Otherwise, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Things have come to this point, and it is useless to say more. But then again, if we could arrive at Wancheng before Feng Yu... it might not be better than the current result."

Liu Bei's last sentence made Guan Yu confused again, "What to explain?" The two words "Is it?" were about to blurt out. Liu Bei said softly: "Don't forget Yun Chang, your elder brother is based on morality and settles his life in this world!"

After Liu Bei said that, no matter how much Guan Yu asked, he would no longer say anything related. Guan Yu had to chew these words carefully until he entered the Wancheng Gate, but he still didn't fully understand Liu Bei's meaning.

...

Before Cao Ren returned to Yecheng, the news that he had taken the emperor and all officials to return triumphantly was reported in advance by Kuaima.

At that time, Cao Cao was having a regular meeting with his ministers in the palace hall. After receiving the news, the eunuch in charge of the communication ran to the throne, whispered a few words to Cao Cao on the throne, and handed a letter to Cao Cao.

Before Cao Cao opened the letter to read, he smiled at the ministers and said happily: "Cao Ren has not let down his or her trust and escorted the emperor and all the officials of the court to our State of Wei. Tell me, where should we arrange the court?"

The people in the hall suddenly became noisy and looked joyous. Only Guo Jia asked: "Prince, Cao Ren mentioned in the news whether Feng Yu was successfully killed?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and replied with a smile: "Is this still necessary to ask? I have brought the emperor back, how can Feng Yu not get rid of it? It may be that the emperor personally directed the Imperial Guard to get rid of him." He opened the letter and read it.

In the eyes of everyone, Cao Cao's face gradually became ugly. After Cao Cao finished reading all the letters, the ministers heard a crisp sound, and saw him slap the letter on the table.

Then, Cao Cao roared angrily: "Cao Ren! You ruined the big thing of my own affairs!" His highness looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Guo Jia was about to ask what had happened, but Cao Cao suddenly hugged his head and hummed: "It hurts! Kill me if I hurt!"

All the ministers knew that he had a headache and hurriedly summoned the palace doctor to treat him. Taking advantage of this moment, Guo Jia looked at the letter falling to the ground in detail, and then he realized the whole story of the matter.

The doctor gave Cao Cao acupuncture, medicine, and massage. After a long time of struggle, Cao Cao calmed down again.

Cao Cao said to Guo Jia weakly: "You know everything about Fengxiao. Cao Ren is not successful enough, but he has enough trouble! Without killing Feng Yu, he took the initiative to rob the emperor and all officials. In this case, he brought back a baggage to the orphans instead of a bunch of chips!"

Guo Jia nodded in praise and comforted Cao Cao, "Master, it's a strange thing that I have not explained to General Cao Ren clearly. Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Now that things have come to this, we can only make plans. Please ask the King of Wei to put health first."

Both Cao Cao and Guo Jia understood one truth. The Han Dynasty and the imperial court were only useful when they killed Feng Yu, surrendered the remaining soldiers and generals of the Liang State, and when they divided the Liang State with the other two families to obtain more benefits.

If Feng Yu was not dead, Liu Xiehe and other officials would be a burden. Not only would they not be able to command any of the other three countries, but Cao Cao also confirmed the name of the Han thief.

This is not the end. Now the Liang Kingdom, whose strength is equal to half the world, must be eliminated first. The Wei Kingdom, which has hosted the emperor, can only take the burden, unite with the other two families, and first defeat the Liang Kingdom.
