Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 267 Zhang Sui: Your Majesty, where is Anyi County?
Emperor Liu Xie looked quite weak and signaled the eunuch beside him to take the bamboo slips from Xiahou Lan.

Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others also had blank expressions on their faces and did not look at Xiahou Lan well at all.

Cao Cao didn't bring anyone with him, he only sent an envoy. What's the point?
They want troops now!
They wanted to march their troops across the Yellow River, reach Hongnong Port, and retake Luoyang!

Xiahou Lan looked at the cold expressions of the crowd and frowned.

Although he had been warned by his lord Cao Cao before he came that this group of people would not give him a good attitude, he still had to find a way to get them across the river.

However, watching this scene, Xiahou Lan still felt uncomfortable.

What he didn't expect was that someone actually smiled and nodded at him.

Xia Houlan looked at Zhang Sui, with doubt in her eyes.

very young!
Moreover, he was wearing armor and sitting in the front row.

I wonder who this young general is?
Which side's general is this?
However, now is obviously not the time to talk.

After I leave, I will ask the other party again.

The emperor took the bamboo slips from the eunuch, opened them and took a look.

The next moment, he suppressed his excitement and said, "Lord Cao led 20,000 troops and has already breached Hangu Pass. He is waiting for us to cross the river and attack Li Jue and Guo Si's troops from two directions?"

Emperor Liu Xie's words made Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, Qu Bei and others all ecstatic.

Xiahou Lan clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

"When I set out, Lord Cao had just captured Hangu Pass!"

"Li Jue, Guo Si and their ilk have already suffered setbacks."

"But Lord Cao's troops are not good at naval warfare."

"Therefore, Lord Cao sent this general to quietly cross the river and discuss matters with Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, order the army to cross the river and use bows and arrows to press the rebels of Li Jue and Guo Si at Hongnong Port."

"At that time, Cao Gong will send troops from Hangu Pass."

"The rebels of Li Jue and Guo Si were unable to cross the river, and Cao Gong's troops were stationed at Hangu Pass, so they could only retreat from Hongnong Port to avoid disaster."

"Your Majesty can then cross the river and land at Hongnong Port."

"After landing at Hongnong Port, you can go directly to Luoyang."

"At that time, we only need to send a small number of troops to guard Hangu Pass, and we can easily resist the rebels of Li Jue and Guo Si."

"Because Duke Cao just repelled the rebels led by Lu Bu in Yanzhou, his men and horses were exhausted and their food and grass were insufficient. Therefore, within a short period of time, Duke Cao could not assist the emperor in destroying the rebels led by Li Jue and Guo Si."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Emperor Liu Xie was so excited that his lips were trembling. He hurriedly said, "Come here, check where Lord Cao is from!"

Sima Fang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Cao's name is Cao Cao, courtesy name Mengde, and he is the son of the former Grand Commandant Cao Song."

"His grandfather Cao Teng once served as the Grand Chamberlain of the Imperial Court."

"I once recommended Cao Gong as a filial and honest official."

"Cao Gong once served as the Commander of the Army during the reign of Emperor Ling and was an aide to General He Jin."

"I also followed Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, to fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo."

"He is the pillar of the country!"

Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others all had contempt in their eyes.

Pillar of the country?

Shit!

It's nothing more than the descendant of a eunuch.

Follow Yuan Shao to fight against Dong Zhuo?
In other words, he was just Yuan Shao's staff.

Then, the strength will definitely not be that strong.

However, the fact that they were able to repel the rebels of Li Jue and Guo Si and occupy Hangu Pass shows that they had some strength.

Now Yuan Shao is fully focused on dealing with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.

If we can seize control of Cao Cao's territory, capture his troops, and block the Yellow River in the future, we will have a share of our own in this world.

Thinking of this, the father-in-law Dong Cheng stood up, bowed to the emperor Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, Sima Gong is right." "Now that Cao Gong is willing to lead the army to defend the king, we should seize this opportunity and cross the river first."

Dong Cheng looked at Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others.

They no longer want to stay in Anyi County!

Except that Anyi County was too small and was only the seat of government of Hedong County.

The ultimate problem is that the entire Hedong County was included in Yuan Shao’s territory!
Bingzhou to the north of Hedong County.

Jizhou in the east.

They were all captured by Yuan Shao.

To the west is the territory of the Xiliang rebels Ma Teng, Han Sui and other princes.

To the south is the Yellow River.

Hiding in Anyi County, I feel like I will be annexed sooner or later.

It is better to leave this quagmire as soon as possible and return to Luoyang. Then we can seize Cao Cao's troops and use the emperor to command the princes. Who would dare to disobey?
Zhang Ji and Yang Feng nodded in unison.

When Emperor Liu Xie saw that Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others all agreed to send troops immediately, he looked at Zhang Sui and said, "General Zhang, now you should discuss with the father-in-law and others about sending troops as soon as possible."

Zhang Sui stood up and bowed.

Emperor Liu Xie then asked the clerk in the government office to arrange for Xiahou Lan to go to the guesthouse to rest.

An eunuch took out a map and hung it in the hall of the government office, asking everyone to discuss sending troops immediately.

A burly man stood up, pointed at Zhang Sui with his right hand and said, "Isn't this simple?"

"General Zhang was ordered by the governor of Jizhou to assist the emperor in crossing the river. The vanguard should be General Zhang's men!"

"General Zhang also has sufficient troops."

"Another 10,000 arrows will be sent from Hedong County."

"We will all protect the emperor from behind!"

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Sui stayed in Anyi County for the past few days and remembered all these civil and military officials clearly.

This big man is called Han Xian. He now serves as the Sili Xiaowei and is responsible for commanding the entire Anyi County defense.

Han Xian was originally a member of the Yellow Turban Army, but later defected to Li Jue.

After Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji and others escorted Emperor Liu Xie across the river, the military generals began to fight among themselves and wanted to hold the emperor hostage.

Dong Cheng and Zhang Ji secretly sent envoys to Hongnong Port, pretending to negotiate with Li Jue and Guo Si, but in fact they used high positions and generous salaries to lobby Han Xian under Li Jue.

Han Xian happily crossed the river and rushed to Hedong County to shock the generals.

However, what Dong Cheng and Zhang Ji did not expect was that luring Han Xian across the river was actually inviting a wolf into the house.

Relying on his large number of troops, Han Xian quickly seized power and turned Anyi County into his own private land.

Whether it was the emperor or other civil and military officials, they had to obey his arrangements.

If they don't listen, we will use military force to fight them.

Duan Wei and others who had fled to Hedong County with the emperor were driven away in this way.

The soldiers of Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others were also mostly killed.

Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others had to compromise and become Han Xian's staff.

As soon as Han Xian opened his mouth, Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others echoed him and asked Zhang Sui to lead one thousand cavalry and four thousand Black Mountain troops to act as the vanguard.

Zhang Sui listened to the noisy voices of these people, stood up, patted his armor, making a clanging sound, then stood up and walked towards Han Xian.

Han Xian narrowed his eyes and asked sternly, "General Zhang, is there a problem?"

Zhang Sui walked up to Han Xian, took a look at him, and then said to Emperor Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, where is this place?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Sui blankly.

Zhang Sui ignored everyone and just glanced at Sima Fang beside him. Then he said to Emperor Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Sima Gong just explained Cao Gong's identity in detail. However, he missed the most crucial point."
