Boss Cao and Lu Bu carried out Liu Xie's arrangements very strictly, and even personally took troops and horses to send Yuan Shao and others away from Luoyang.

They were sent all the way out of Hulao Pass.

In fact, it is said to be a gift, but in fact, it can be said to be a sign of laxity, because apart from beating up these princes along the way, Boss Cao and Lu Bu did not give them any good looks.

It can be said that this journey was the most embarrassing in Yuan Shao's life.

Boss Cao didn't even give them any time to rest along the way and asked them to run out of Hulao Pass.

As for their mounts, they all stayed in Luoyang.

What, what if someone doesn’t want to give?

Didn’t you see Lu Bu and the generals under Boss Cao on the side, all sharpening their swords?

If you don’t give it? How about just hacking him to death with a knife?

Liu Xie naturally knew what Boss Cao and the others were doing, but he did not stop Cao Cao.

In Liu Xie's words, as long as Yuan Shao and Liu Bei can do something that can help them get out of Luoyang, it will be good. Still want to ride a horse? What horse to ride?

Two days later, Cao Cao and Lu Bu returned to Luoyang again, and they wanted to meet Liu Xie non-stop.

Naturally, Liu Xie would not ignore Boss Cao and Lu Bu, and directly chose to receive them in the study.

"I, Cao Cao (Lü Bu), pay homage to Your Majesty. I have sent all the princes out of Hulao Pass." Boss Cao and Lu Bu saluted Liu Xie at the same time.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear sirs. Please give me a seat." Liu Xie said to Ji Huai standing beside him.

Ji Huai accepted the order and quickly had two soft seats brought over for Cao Cao and Cao Cao to sit down.

"What did Yuan Shao and the others do after they left Hulao Pass?" Liu Xie asked after seeing the two of them sit down.

"Your Majesty, it's not unusual at all. However, I am quite dissatisfied with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, and I am afraid that they may recruit troops after they return."

"When the time comes, I'm worried that they will really take risks." After hearing Liu Xie's words, Boss Cao hesitated for a moment and then spoke directly.

"Your Majesty, before they go far, why don't I take the Bingzhou cavalry to pursue them?"

"I wish to issue a military order and I will kill them one by one!" At this time, Lu Bu also expressed his loyalty to Liu Xie.

When Liu Xie heard what Lu Bu and Cao Cao said, he used the system to take a look at their loyalty points.

Lu Bu has more than 70, and Boss Cao has more than 80. Although they have not reached the level of absolute loyalty and die-hard loyalty, they are enough.

In Lu Bu's current state, although he only has a loyalty value of over 70, it is still very high.

Don't forget, Lu Bu is known as the foster father killer, and a loyalty value of 70 is really good for Lu Bu.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Bu would not rebel as long as he was not in a desperate situation.

Will he fall into death? No, so Lu Bu is not very likely to rebel.

As for Cao Cao, his loyalty value of 80 is also considered very high. After all, Boss Cao was the King of Wei in the original history.

Liu Xie estimated that as long as he could really unify the Han Dynasty, Boss Cao's loyalty value would immediately reach 100.

When the time comes, Liu Xie won't mind giving Boss Cao the title of King of Wei, as has been done historically?

Of course, don't even think about fiefdoms. Liu Xie has already thought about it. In the future, all descendants of Liu surname and kings with different surnames will only have titles and no fiefdoms.

In this way, the loss of tax revenue was directly avoided and the tax revenue of the court was increased.

As for what to say, Emperor Gaozu has decreed that no one with the surname Liu can be king?

Liu Xie said he would not cut it. After all, he didn’t even have a fief anymore. What’s wrong with giving him a prince?

Is this just like how in later generations, there were only marshals during the founding period, and then there were only generals?

The title of king is only an honor, not a real power.

However, these things are a bit far-fetched. If you want to do this to the king, you should wait until all the princes are wiped out.

What is important now is that Liu Xie confirms the loyalty of Boss Cao and Lu Bu so that he can continue to implement his previous ideas.

"Cao Qing, do you think I should send someone to intercept Yuan Shao and the others?" Liu Xie did not directly answer Lu Bu's suggestion, but turned to Cao Cao and asked.

When Cao Cao heard Liu Xie's question, he thought for a moment, and then said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I think it's fine to pursue him or not."

"Oh? It seems that Cao Qing, you already have a plan, so you might as well talk about it." When Liu Xie heard Boss Cao say this, he knew that Boss Cao already understood what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, pursuing Yuan Shao and the others has the advantage of pursuing them. There are also advantages of not pursuing them."

"Different choices will have different results. If we pursue them, I can guarantee that as long as Marquis Wen is around, they will die!"

"In this way, the rebellion of the princes can be resolved, and Your Majesty can justifiably take back the territories of the princes."

"In this way, I, the Han Dynasty, can also avoid a military disaster. But in this way, I, the Han Dynasty, will also be left with trouble. Maybe a hundred years later, the Han Dynasty will still be in chaos."

"If you don't choose to pursue, then Your Majesty will have the opportunity to eradicate the root of the disaster together and restore long-term peace to the people of the world!" Cao Cao looked at Retention and said loudly.

"Then Cao Qing, tell me, what is the root cause of this problem?" Liu Xie nodded slightly after hearing Boss Cao's words, and then continued to ask.

"The root cause of this disaster is the aristocratic and wealthy families!" Cao Cao said word for word.

"Oh? Aristocratic family? Why did Cao Qing think of aristocratic family?" Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao with interest.

"Because the noble family wants to compete with His Majesty for power!"

"Do you have any solution?" Liu Xie continued to ask.

"If Your Majesty chooses to intercept and kill Yuan Shao and others, you can avoid military disaster, but after that, Your Majesty will need to spend ten or twenty years to deal with the threats posed by the family."

"If you are not careful or do not handle it cleanly, the family will definitely hide it. After many years, they will definitely rise again."

"If the emperor at that time was not capable enough or was too young, then I am very sure that he would make the same mistake again."

"If His Majesty decides to let Yuan Shao and the others return to their own territory, then I can guarantee that they will also go back and win over all the wealthy families they can win over."

"In this way, all the families who are hostile to Your Majesty will be exposed, making it easier for Your Majesty to deal with them one by one. Your Majesty can get rid of them once and for all."

"But the disadvantage is that the aristocratic families Yuan Shao and the others have attracted may exceed our expectations, causing Yuan Shao's power to expand rapidly."

"If you are not careful, if the imperial court fails on the frontal battlefield, I am afraid that Sun Wu will inevitably fail again. At that time, your majesty will..." Cao Cao said this and stopped talking.

Liu Xie also understood that Cao Cao just thought that if he failed in the frontal battlefield, then his emperor would be doomed.
