On the empty and spacious official road, Wang Can and Cao Cao's troops were separated by ten feet and looked at each other from a distance.
Zhao Yun and Xu Rong led the Po Army Camp to display on the official road. Dian Wei and Huang Zhong rode their horses and stood in front of the military formation without protecting Wang Can. The Langya Camp led by Lu Meng also stayed next to the Po Army Camp. Opposite the army was the cavalry led by Cao Hong.
, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Le Jin and other generals rode their horses and stood in front of the army formation, looking at the center of the two armies.
In the center of the two armies, Wang Can and Cao Cao sat on the ground.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "First of all, in this battle, you are slightly better, but you did not defeat me openly. When we meet next time, I will definitely train an invincible army and defeat you openly."
Wang Can smiled slightly and did not continue what Cao Cao said.
Wang Can asked straight to the point: "Mengde, you and I are on our own. I won't say anything more. I just want to ask you one thing, did the little emperor bring it?" While speaking, Wang Can turned slightly sideways and pointed at the broken hole with his finger.
In front of the military camp, he said: "Look, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren are white and fat, I didn't treat them badly!"
When Cao Cao saw it, he raised his hand and waved.
Immediately, the soldiers in front of Cao's army moved aside, and the little emperor was led out by several soldiers.
Wang Can looked around and saw that Liu Xie's spirit was a little depressed and he looked very defeated, with a humiliating expression on his face. Cao Cao and Wang Can reached an agreement, but Liu Xie didn't know it. It was only when Cao Cao brought him here.
He knew about the agreement between Cao Cao and Wang Can. He did not expect that Cao Cao would give him to Wang Can in exchange for Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren.
Such an exchange made Liu Xie extremely angry.
Not only Liu Xie, but also the court officials who followed Liu Xie were furious.
However, although the court ministers were angry, they had no ability to resist. They could only watch Liu Xie being sent to Wang Can, and they could only be sent away with Liu Xie. The most panicked among the courtiers was Liu Fan.
and Liu Dan, after going around in a big circle, they were actually going to be arrested by Wang Can, which was hard for them to accept.
The two of them followed the ministers and looked at Wang Can carefully. There was fear in their eyes, as if they had seen a demon. They saw the demon getting closer and closer, but they could not resist and could only wait to be swallowed.
When Wang Can saw Liu Xie, he didn't suspect anything else.
The expression on Liu Xie's face makes it easy to think that he knew he was going to be sent away by Cao Cao, so he became haggard and decadent.
Wang Can raised his hand and waved, and Dian Wei and Huang Zhong immediately came over with Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren. Seeing this, Cao Cao also waved and asked Xu Chu and Xu Huang to come over with the young emperor Liu Xie, followed closely by Liu Xie
The queen and concubines, as well as the eunuchs and maids in the palace, also came up.
Wherever Liu Xie went, the ministers of the DPRK also followed.
Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others followed, and countless officials and family members immediately appeared.
Wang Can looked at Liu Xie and the courtiers, with a flash of joy on his face, and said: "General Xiahou, General Cao, we will meet again later. I hope you will not be captured when we meet next time." Wang Can waved his hand and ignored it.
Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan looked at each other with murderous eyes, and they let Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren go back to Cao Cao's army.
Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu, nodded, and Xu Chu handed the little emperor to Wang Can.
After the two sides completed the handover, Wang Can said: "Meng De, next time we meet, I will definitely lead the troops to Yanzhou to see you." This sentence, on the surface, said to see Cao Cao, but it actually meant that the troops were coming to Yanzhou.
Cao Cao smiled and showed no signs of weakness.
He waved his sleeves and said: "Be the first, we don't know who will win. I will lead the troops to Yizhou."
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao shouted: "Let's go, no need to see me off!"
Cao Cao stood up gracefully and returned to the military formation with Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, and the soldiers who came up. Then he directly ordered to leave and set off back to Yanzhou.
Wang Can asked soldiers to take over the little emperor, and sent soldiers to arrange the courtiers and palace maids and attendants, and then led the troops back.
Liu Xie was angry, but in poor spirits, so he returned to the carriage early to rest.
The army camp was immediately set off and returned to Chang'an.
…
After Cao Cao led the army back to the camp, the army packed up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren went to see Cao Cao hand in hand.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren knelt on the ground, kowtowing to apologize. Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "My lord, the two of us were captured by Wang Can, which made my lord threatened by Wang Can, so I asked my lord to give the little emperor to Wang Can. It's great."
The situation was ruined because of the two of us. It is my fault. Please punish me, my lord."
Xia Houyuan also said: "Please punish me, my lord!"
The two came to plead guilty willingly.
When Wang Can told the two of them that Cao Cao had exchanged the little emperor for the two of them, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan were deeply moved. However, while they were moved, they also felt very guilty. If they hadn't held them back, Cao Cao would have achieved the purpose of his trip.
When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled lightly.
He walked up to the two of them and reached out to help them up.
Immediately, Cao Cao said: "It's good that you can come back, don't feel guilty. Giving the little emperor to Wang Can this time is not only not a benefit to Wang Can, but a disaster to him. The specific things have been arranged, no need to
How long will it take for you to know the specific situation? Okay, let's all go down."
Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren looked at each other with doubtful expressions on their faces.
The two of them were full of doubts, not knowing whether Cao Cao's words were true or false.
After leaving the camp, the two went to find Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong, but unfortunately they still didn't get the answer. However, Xiahou Dun said that Cao Cao once said, "The good show is yet to come." After Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren heard this, they knew what Cao Cao had said.
The words were true, not to comfort the two of them, but to have a backup plan.
In this way, the two of them were relieved.
The army packed up their gear and set off immediately.
…
Wang Can led Pojunying back to Chang'an, but not very quickly.
The reason is that Liu Xie rode in a carriage, and so did the courtiers and ministers' families. Everyone rode in carriages, and it was difficult to increase the speed. In addition, Liu Xi was in a trance and in poor health, which caused a lot of delays.
time.
It took nearly seven days for the army to approach Chang'an City.
While the army was on its way, a soldier quickly ran to Wang Can and reported: "Sir, something serious has happened. The emperor has vomited blood and has fainted."
Wang Can became nervous when he heard this.
Liu Xie is a trump card in his hand and nothing can happen to him.
Wang Can turned the horse's head and ordered: "Take me to see?"
Wang Can took Dian Wei and ran towards the little emperor's carriage. When they got close to the carriage, they smelled a pungent fishy smell. The carriage door curtain was opened, and they saw the little emperor lying limply on the carriage, his face as golden as gold.
Paper, breathing weakly, seems to be a person who is about to expire, his breath is very fragile.
Wang Can frowned and asked: "Your Majesty's body was fine a few days ago, why did he suddenly fall ill?"
Empress Fu cried and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is critically ill. First find someone to diagnose and treat His Majesty. If it is too late, it will be too late."
After Wang Can heard this, he said in a deep voice: "The army arrived in a hurry. There are no medical officers in the army, so we can only diagnose and treat after returning to Chang'an. Well, the army speeds up and rushes back to Chang'an immediately."
After Wang Can finished speaking, he turned around and left, ordering the army to move quickly.
At this time, Wang Can had a bad premonition in his heart.
