Lu Bu was busy recruiting craftsmen and developing business in Xuzhou. Many days before that, Jia Xu, who came to Hefei, also made plans for Liu Xun.

The back house of the Hefei government is a wing room for entertaining guests.

There were a few low tables in the room, and delicious wine and delicacies were placed on the table.

Liu Xun walked back and forth quickly in the house. From his actions, he could see that he was very anxious and uneasy at this time.

"General, Your Majesty and General Zhang are here!" The guard's report came from outside the house.

Liu Xun slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Until this time, his heart was still very complicated.

If you fight with Cao **, Lujiang will never have a good end in the end. Maybe he will die like Jia Xu said, and he will only be a traitor.

He will indeed have a good ending by killing Zhang Xun and capturing Yuan Yao alive, but it is hard to guarantee that no one will say that he betrayed his old master in order to survive.

No matter how he chooses, what he will face in the future is beyond what ordinary people can bear.

Things have reached this point, and Liu Xun is completely standing on the edge of the cliff.

He made up his mind and ordered the guards outside the door: "I would like to invite Your Majesty and General Zhang!"

After ordering the guards, Liu Xun went out and waited for him personally.

After a while, Zhang Xun accompanied Yuan Yao.

It was far away, and Liu Xun bowed and gave a big gift: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

The ritual he performed was from the bottom of his heart and was filled with endless guilt.

"General Liu doesn't have to be too polite." Before he could see the danger, Yuan Yao raised his hand.

Liu Xun stood aside and greeted Zhang Xun again.

Inviting two people into the room, Zhang Xun found that there was no official in the room except for a few guards: "Who else did General Liu invite today?"

"I didn't invite anyone else." Liu Xun replied: "Cao Cao's army was stationed in Yijing and might come to Hefei at any time, so I don't have the intention to hold another banquet."

"Since I don't have the heart, why do you want me and General Zhang?" Yuan Yao was also a little confused.

"Please give your majesty a seat, I have my own explanation." Liu Xun bowed and said, "I will recommend someone for Your Majesty and General Zhang later."

Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun became more and more confused, and they were not easy to ask, so they had to sit down.

"Who is General Liu going to recommend?" Yuan Yao asked after sitting down.

"Your Majesty will know later." Liu Xun picked up the wine glass: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty and General Zhang first."

Realizing that the banquet was wrong, Zhang Xun did not pick up the cup.

He looked at Liu Xun in confusion: "General Liu, who is he? If you don't say it, I always feel that it's not safe."

"Before meeting that man, I want to borrow something from His Majesty and General Zhang." Liu Xun sighed lightly and put down his wine glass.

Also feeling something was wrong, Yuan Yao asked: "General Liu hesitated, what exactly do you want to borrow?"

"I want to borrow your Majesty's freedom and borrow General Zhang's head!" Liu Xun finished speaking, and a group of guards wearing strong and holding sharp edges rushed out from behind the screen in the room, surrounding Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun.

At the same time, there was a sound of fighting outside the door.

The fight ended quickly, and it was obvious that the guards brought by Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun had been resolved.

"Liu Xun, what do you mean!" Zhang Xun slapped the table suddenly and stood up with his sword.

"I don't mean anything." Liu Xun said with a embarrassed look on his face: "Duke Cao sent Jia Wenhe over and made a promise that as long as I give General Zhang's head, he can protect His Majesty from death. For His Majesty, I am really helpless!"

"Liu Xun, you..." Although Yuan Yao was young, he was not stupid. He knew he had been betrayed. He stood up and pointed at Liu Xun, with anger on his face.

"Your Majesty calm down!" Liu Xun stood up and walked to the table, knelt on the ground and said, "I am helpless. After today, I will no longer meet with the courtesy of the king and the minister. Please forgive me!"

"I'll kill you!" Liu Xun wanted to take the head of his neck to offer to Cao Cao. Zhang Xun was not willing to do so. He roared and jumped up, drew his sword and rushed towards Liu Xun.

Unfortunately, he had only one person after all, and he was not an invincible general like Lu Bu. He only took two steps and was stabbed by the guards rushing up from his side.

More than a dozen guards stabbed Zhang Xun's body one after another.

When he fell down unwillingly, the door was pushed open and Jia Xu walked in!

Rotating his beard, Jia Xu smiled: "General Liu made contributions today, and I will definitely report to Cao Gong that there is no Huainan Yuan family in the world since then, and the general can be said to have made great contributions!"

"Yuan Yao, what the emperor did is still satisfactory?" The smile stopped on Jia Xu's face: "Are you willing to give up the emperor's reputation and join my lord, or do you want to go to the underworld with Zhang Xun? There is still a chance to choose at this time."

"Mr. Jia Xu said with the intention of killing Yuan Yao, and Liu Xun hurriedly said: "We agreed before..."

He raised his hand to stop him, and Jia Xu said to Liu Xun: "We have left a way to live for others, but if others want to die, what can we do?"

He then asked Yuan Yao: "Do you dare to ask the Emperor of Huainan, do you want to die or live?"

Although Yuan Yao carries the title of emperor, he has never seen such a formation.

Without responding to Jia Xu, he sat on the ground.

Seeing Yuan Yao limp on the ground, Liu Xun was afraid that Jia Xu would order him to be killed, so he quickly ordered the guards: "Why don't you capture Yuan Yao quickly!"

The guard rushed forward and tied Yuan Yao up.

How could Jia Xu not see Liu Xun’s thoughts?

He smiled coldly and glanced at Liu Xun.

Liu Xun was so cold that he glanced at him that he quickly didn't dare to look at him.

Not to mention that Jia Xu and Liu Xun took Zhang Xun's head and Yuan Yao, who was captured alive, went to Cao Cao to express their merits, when Lu Bu got the news, he simply discussed it with Chen Gong, but ignored it and devoted himself to making money.

When Xiahou Dun left Pengcheng, Yuan Yao had not been captured yet.

After all, Pengcheng is much farther away from Shouchun than Hefei is Shouchun.

When he returned to Shouchun, Jia Xu and others also reported to Cao Cao.

I heard that Xiahou Dun came back, Cao Cao asked someone to take him to the back house.

Although Cao Cao was greedy for beauty, he could not bring his family with him in marches and wars.

When we arrived in Shouchun, all the local beauties were served in bed. During the day, there were no beauties present in Cao Cao's room.

Xiahou Dun stood with Cao Cao on his face.

Sitting in the room, Cao Cao looked up at him and asked with a smile: "Yuan Rang went to Pengcheng, can he bring the Qingzhou army back?"

"Lu Fengxian found various reasons, but he refused to return the Qingzhou army!" Xiahou Dun replied: "I heard that Mancheng killed Li Mao and his lord was about to get Huainan. I came back to help me."

"I had met Wenhe before seeing you." Cao Cao said: "Liu Xun killed Zhang Xun and sent Yuan Yao too. Huainan has fallen into our hands!"

"Congratulations to the lord!" Xiahou Dun hurriedly congratulated.

Cao Cao calmly waved his hands: "If you don't talk about Huainan, have you noticed something wrong with Lu Bu in Pengcheng?"
