Chapter 228 Xi Yu was unexpectedly granted the title, Yuan Shao wanted to go to war with Cao Cao

However, what Xi Yu did not expect was that the common people and Confucian scholars did not doubt the truth or falsehood of what Xi Yu said. They were completely convinced.

The people even beat gongs and drums.

Xi Yu's carriage arrived in front of the city gate, and Xi Yu stepped out of the carriage. At this moment, his legs and feet couldn't help but feel a little weak.

When everyone saw Xi Yu's "weak" appearance, even the feet of the powerful general who killed Lu Bu were a little weak at this moment. They immediately thought that the "evil" was obviously very vicious. Xi Yu went to suppress it this time, and he must have experienced the dangers. !

"grown ups……"

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia stood together at the head of the officials. At this moment, seeing Xi Yu returning safely, Zhuge Liang couldn't hide his excitement and said loudly, "My lord, regardless of the danger, went to suppress the evil with merit and virtue, so as to strengthen the destiny of our country, the Han Dynasty! "

"For such great achievements that are beneficial to my Han people, the emperor has issued an order to inform the world, and he will be promoted to the title of Yushi Zhongcheng, and he will be granted an additional 2,000 households!"

"Kong Ming, do you really mean what you said?!"

Zhuge Liang's words made Xi Yu so shocked that he almost fell off the carriage. He strode up to Zhuge Liang and said in shock, "Your Majesty actually knows about my work to suppress demons and eliminate evil?!"

I used this excuse to ward off evil spirits, but in fact I went to bathe in hot springs. I was really pretending to be serving the public good for my own benefit. Who would have thought that even His Majesty would know about this?!

What shocked Xi Yu even more was that His Majesty actually told the world and let everyone in the Han Dynasty know about it. If the truth was known to the world, the consequences would be...

Xi Yu became more and more angry as he thought about it, and asked in a deep voice, "How did your majesty know about my efforts to suppress demons and eliminate evil this time? Who did this?!"

Guo Jia stepped forward, bowed deeply in front of Xi Yu, and said, "Sir, we know that you are indifferent to fame and wealth. This time, you risked your life for the sake of the people of Xuzhou and even the fate of the country. This is a feat of sacrificing your life for righteousness. , of course it should be known to the world."

"In order to facilitate this matter, Mr. Cao Ang spent a lot of effort."

Hearing this, Xi Yu secretly thought in his heart: Cao Ang, Cao Ang, my love for you is in vain. What should I do about this matter?

"It's so abominable."

Xi Yu was very unhappy: Originally, this time, he wanted to take a hot spring vacation to relax and unwind in the name of getting rid of evil spirits. He didn't want anyone to know about it.

It's good now, after Cao Ang made such a fuss, he actually created Emperor Zhao, and wanted to let the world know about it. If anyone knows the truth...

Xi Yu was very angry: I just want to be quiet and relax for a few days, why can't I satisfy such a small wish?

But the matter has come to this. For everyone, it is a great joy for Xi Yu to be promoted to an official position and to receive such a commendation from the current emperor. Xi Yu does not dare to show too much displeasure, otherwise it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others. .

In the end, Xi Yu returned to the government office with everyone's envy.

Wherever he went, the people cheered and watched. Many people were very envious of Xi Yu's current status and status, and many people lowered their heads and whispered.

Cao Ang had already been waiting for Xi Yu's return at the gate of the Yamen Office. When Xi Yu came to the gate of the Yamen Office, Cao Ang immediately bowed deeply and said, "Uncle, you have worked hard these days. For the sake of the people of Xuzhou and the genius of the Han Dynasty, you have lost a lot of weight." .”

"Ang'er, I heard that it was you who requested merit and rewards for me in front of His Majesty?"

Seeing Cao Ang standing at the door, Xi Yu immediately asked.

"Uncle, compared to your great righteousness, this is a trivial matter. You don't need to worry about it, let alone be grateful to me. This is the reward you deserve."

Cao Ang thought that Xi Yu wanted to thank him, so he said humbly.

"Brother-in-law, I am also taking advantage of this matter to make Xuzhou more famous. In this way, more knowledgeable people and capable people in all fields will come to my Xuzhou. This will also be a great influence on Xuzhou and even on me, a big man.

A good thing."

Seeing that Cao Ang was very proud, Xi Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and said in his heart: Do you still want me to be grateful to you? Cao Ang, Cao Ang, I really want to slap you until you cry!

I just want to take a quiet bath in the hot springs. You'd better ask Your Majesty to tell me the truth. Once the whole world knows the truth, where will I be?

Xi Yu sighed heavily, but he could only hold everything in his heart.

At this moment, Xiyu was very disappointed and slowly approached the government office.

The other carriages began to unload and then went home. Lu Lingqi and Diao Chan returned to the mansion in the city with a group of guards. Fortunately, the place where they settled was not far from the government office.

Thinking back on this trip with Xi Yu, Diao Chan felt nostalgic in her heart: Mr. Xi was tall, tall, handsome, and elegant yet charming. It was rare to see such a man.

Thinking of these, especially those nights with Xi Yu, Diao Chan's heart was beating fast and she was very restless.

"Mom, let's go home."

Lu Lingqi saw that Diao Chan seemed a little absent-minded at the moment, so she asked tentatively.

Lu Lingqi was even more worried about whether Diao Chan would be tricked by Xi Yu into witchcraft!

…

Soon, in less than a month, the news of suppressing evil in Xiyu Mountain and even being rewarded by His Majesty had spread throughout the Central Plains.

All the states in the Central Plains seemed to be aware of this matter, and the people in the territories of the princes also discussed the matter one after another, and gradually accepted Xi Yu's appointment.

At this time, in Xinye City, after a year of hard planning and hard work, Liu Bei finally had 20,000 troops in reserve.

Liu Bei suddenly smashed the bamboo slip in his hand on the ground.

After a while, Liu Bei bent down to pick up the bamboo slips again, and then used his robe to pat the dust away. After this, Liu Bei threw the slips on top of the slips.

At this moment, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were carefully wiping their weapons. Hearing Liu Bei's movements, Guan Yu walked up to Liu Bei and said worriedly, "Brother, why are you in trouble? Is there anything that needs the help of my second brother? Whenever the eldest brother needs it, even if he needs it,

Climbing the mountain of knives and descending into the sea of ​​fire, I will not hesitate to do so!"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and sighed, "Oh, my second brother didn't know something. Xi Yu started to play tricks again and tease the people..."

At this moment, when Liu Bei was speaking, his tone was filled with a sense of powerlessness. He suddenly felt...

He seemed to be on the verge of success many times, but was always one step ahead.

Until now, he is still a bachelor!

"This...if this is true, won't all my big men fall into Xi Yu's hands?" Yu frowned, not knowing what to do.

"Brother, can you take what you say seriously? Now the emperor is really stuck in the quagmire in Xuchang?"

"How can I deceive you as a brother? Second brother and third brother, is it possible that you two also doubt me?"

"I saw Xi Yu with my own eyes, so I planned to escape from Xuchang, especially to stay away from Cao Cao."

Although Liu Bei looked very calm on the surface, he secretly thought in his heart: Isn't this how I deceived my second brother and my third brother?

Although Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a deep brotherly love for him, Liu Bei also knew that giving Guan Yu and Zhang Fei real power would lead to better development in the future.

"If the truth is as big brother said, why did the Emperor of Heaven issue this edict?" Guan Yu asked in confusion.

"Second brother, this matter is so obvious. It must have been done by Xi Yu and Cao Cao to coerce the emperor!"

Zhang Fei was very excited and said loudly.

"Second brother, if you think about it carefully, if I were Cao Cao and I was about to start a war with Yuan Shao, I would naturally be willing to do something that seemed to be for the destiny of the Han Dynasty, and I would definitely be willing to do something for the destiny of the Han Dynasty."

"Xi Yu must have just wanted to take risks alone. Seeing that an opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, such a good thing, of course he would take advantage of it."

After saying that, Zhang Fei let out a long sigh, his face was very complicated.

After hearing what Zhang Fei said, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Bei took advantage of Xi Yu's incident to vent out all the anger he had been holding back for a long time, and even encouraged him, "Two worthy brothers! Although we are in a difficult situation, we must not belittle ourselves!"

"It is an important task for you and me to support the Han Dynasty. Now that we have gradually sufficient troops, horses, and food, we have time to go to Nanyang to find famous people, and at the same time, if possible, to find some military advisors.

However, when Zhang Fei heard about this, he immediately became very reluctant and even complained, "Brother, let me stop wasting time."

"Think about it, how many times have we been there before and after, but we still can't find anyone. Now that the reeds in Nanyang Mountain are basically empty, where else are we going to do this?!"

"However, there is one thing. Brother, have you ever noticed? Nowadays, all the Confucian scholars, celebrities, and talented people from the gentry are heading to Xuzhou!"

"If we go to Xuzhou like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find any generals who can advise us."

Liu Bei disagreed and said with a smile, "You two worthy brothers must not talk like this."

"I, Liu Bei, have never believed in the theory of destiny. I firmly believe that as long as the three of us brothers work together and keep working hard, we will definitely get help from Ruyi's military advisor."

But although Liu Bei smiled lightly on the surface, he hated Xi Yu deeply in his heart: just because of Xi Yu's implementation of a series of measures, more than half of the Han Dynasty's talents went to Xuzhou where Xi Yu was located.

The other half of the talent is with Yuan Shao!

There are still some talents who are in Jiangdong.

Liu Bei secretly complained in his heart: Can't you two good brothers leave some thin noodles for me?!

Today’s life is really hard!

At the same time, almost all celebrities in Xinye and Jingzhou were shocked by Xi Yu's feat!

Of course, not everyone believes that Xiyu is really about suppressing demons and eliminating evil. Those who are well-educated in Confucianism will naturally not believe such a mysterious statement.

In their view, Xi Yu's actions were nothing more than a means: fate brought him to life.

Just like the words that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted during the uprising: "Princes, generals, ministers, and ministers have their own kind." Such bold words will surely ignite the fighting spirit in the hearts of the people.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang simply relied on this method and the power of evil spirits to ensure that their resistance was ordered by heaven, and naturally it was justified.

When Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake and revolted, he was named after the White Snake. It was also God's destiny that made the people willing to follow him to the death.

In today's world, Xi Yu is the emperor's uncle. He travels to evil places on behalf of the emperor, single-handedly suppresses demons and eliminates evil, and turns evil into auspiciousness!

This incident is very similar to the incident involving Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
