Chapter 177 Liu Xie: Wan'er, I hope you will try to win over Su Yu!
"So, you stormed into Yang Feng's camp in the middle of the night and killed him?"
Cao Cao's veins bulged as he listened quietly to Xu Chu's report.
"My lord, I was the one who proposed this, and I will take full responsibility!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was about to lose his temper, Xu Chu quickly stepped forward to take the blame.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao cursed loudly:
"Xu Zhongkang, is your brain stuffed with lard?"
"what do you think?"
"There's only one Yang Feng in the entire world, how precious he is!"
"You go and kill him, and I, Cao, am itching to do the same. Who should I kill next?"
"what???"
The group of about ten bullies all gaped open in astonishment.
"By the way, I heard you also captured Xu Huang. Where is he? We can't just kill him too, can we?"
Cao Cao's gaze gradually turned dangerous.
If Xu Huang were also killed by Xu Chu and his bunch of fools.
Well... maybe he should be punished properly!
After all, Xu Huang was a talent that Cao Cao had spotted on the battlefield yesterday and was determined to recruit.
With Yang Feng dead, Cao Cao was simply furious but had no one to vent his anger on.
If Xu Huang dies, it will be a loss for Cao Cao's camp.
"No...no, they didn't kill him!"
"He's still alive and well!"
Xu Chu was also good at reading people's expressions, and he quickly brought over the captured Xu Huang.
Let's go back to before the two incense sticks burned.
Faced with the threat of more than ten thugs in Cao Cao's camp, Xu Huang chose to surrender on the spot.
Yang Feng is dead, though it is unknown where his elderly mother was imprisoned.
But after surrendering to Cao Cao's camp, he should be able to rescue his elderly mother.
Xu Huang was able to understand this point.
now.
Looking at Xu Huang, who was completely unharmed, Cao Cao sighed:
"Gongming, could you please tell me why you rejected my offer of employment before?"
Xu Huang replied:
"To be honest, Lord Cao, the reason I joined the White Waves is because my mother was captured by Yang Feng and I don't know where she is being held."
"I implore Lord Cao to rescue my mother."
"From this day forward, I am willing to serve Lord Cao, even at the cost of my life!"
Cao Cao nodded and personally untied the ropes binding Xu Huang's hands.
The location where Xu Huang's elderly mother was imprisoned was soon learned from Yang Feng's confidants who had surrendered.
In fact, Xu Huang's mother was kept in a grain storage area very close to Yang Feng's camp.
It wasn't that Yang Feng was worried about Xu Huang's mother starving to death, but simply that he felt the place where the grain was stored was safer, and Xu Huang would never guess that his mother was being held there.
It has to be said that Yang Feng is quite clever.
Unfortunately, he wasn't very smart and couldn't be considered a good person.
With Yang Feng dead, the remaining White Wave bandits naturally lost any desire to be enemies with Cao Cao.
Apart from a few die-hard loyalists, most of the White Wave bandits chose to surrender.
next morning
When Dong Cheng learned of Yang Feng's death, he was terrified and at a loss for what to do.
Liu Xie appeared to be more composed than Dong Cheng.
He knew that Cao Cao would not dare to lay a hand on him.
Yang Feng is dead, so be it. It doesn't matter.
Cao Cao was the key figure for his future, albeit clandestine, development.
but.
What Liu Xie was concerned about was...
Despite his seemingly unassuming demeanor, Su Yu appears to be the Achilles' heel of all the generals in Cao Cao's camp!
"I heard that this person was originally from a poor family in Dongjun."
"How could I not be moved by the goodwill I showed him?"
Liu Xie secretly pondered how to approach Su Yu.
In his mind, the scene of "Bai Lixi being raised from the marketplace and Sun Shu'ao being raised from the sea" had already appeared.
Don't blame Liu Xie for being arrogant.
He was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, while Cao Cao was at most a warlord with some power.
In terms of status, he was indeed much more distinguished than Cao Cao.
But Liu Xie didn't know that not everyone has the effect of "raising a call to arms".
He may be called the Son of Heaven, but he may not necessarily be qualified to act on behalf of Heaven.
Perhaps, he's just a bastard.
On the way to Xu County, Liu Xie secretly met with Dong Cheng to discuss winning over Su Yu.
Dong Cheng, that cunning strategist, immediately raised his hands and feet in agreement when he heard that Liu Xie had the idea of winning over Su Yu.
Dong Cheng then said mysteriously to Liu Xie:
"Does Your Majesty still remember Jia Wenhe?"
"Jia Wenhe?!"
A hint of fear flickered in Liu Xie's eyes.
As the mastermind behind the Xiliang army's counterattack on Chang'an, Liu Xie was naturally very familiar with Jia Xu.
But what Liu Xie feared most was Jia Xu's unique temperament.
"Your Majesty, Jia Xu once spoke of Su Yu, believing him to be a rare talent in the world who could rival him!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xie suppressed his excitement and grabbed Dong Cheng's arm, saying:
"Is what you say true, my dear minister?"
"If that's the case, then Su Yu is someone I absolutely must win over!"
"Once I rebuild the Han dynasty, it wouldn't be impossible to appoint Su Yu as prime minister!"
Dong Cheng shook his head slightly.
Jia Xu did indeed discuss Su Yu.
But his exact words were that he couldn't understand Su Yu at all; Su Yu and he were on completely different paths.
As if appearing out of thin air, many imaginative ideas that had never appeared in history were put into practice by Su Yu.
as well as……
Su Yu always manages to anticipate the enemy's moves!
If Jia Xu had not been an atheist, he would probably have believed that Su Yu possessed the ability to divine.
But Dong Cheng didn't need to tell Liu Xie these things.
Just let Liu Xie know about Su Yu's role.
At present, Dong Cheng knows that he is no match for Cao Cao.
The death of Yang Feng served as a warning.
Dong Cheng understood that the only way to avoid being eliminated by Cao Cao was to cling to Liu Xie's coattails.
Only by marrying his daughter to Liu Xie as soon as possible and making her his brother-in-law could he secretly accumulate power with peace of mind.
But Dong Cheng was unaware of this.
No sooner had he left than Liu Xie summoned his daughter, Dong Wan.
"Wan'er, I have a request."
Liu Xie said solemnly to Dong Wan.
Dong Wan quickly asked:
"I wonder what Your Majesty is referring to...?"
A blush flashed across Liu Xie's face, but he composed himself and said:
"Before we reach Xu County, I hope you can go and make contact with Su Yu on my behalf!"
"I understand that this matter may be somewhat reluctant."
“But my identity is special, and your father’s identity is also special.”
"If the two of us were to directly contact Su Yu, Cao Cao would probably be wary of us."
"But you are different."
"As a woman, it is more convenient for you to approach Su Yu."
A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Dong Wan's eyes, but she still agreed to Liu Xie's request.
I don't know.
This will be the beginning of a nightmare.
As a result, Liu Xie developed a strange and unusual hobby.
