Seeing that Guo Jia seemed to be giving his last words, Yuan Xi felt quite uncomfortable and said, "Sir, do you have anyone in mind?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy to find someone with a high level of understanding?"
"I'll go to the charity school when I have time to see if I can find any good candidates."
Yuan Xi sighed: "Sir, you should pay more attention to your health. After all, my wife and children are still waiting for you in Yecheng."
"If my husband is not in good health, it will not be easy for them in the future."
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Isn't there a young master here? Doesn't the young master always say that I will support your wife?"
Seeing that Guo Jia was still in the mood to make fun of his family, Yuan Xi and Hua Tuo looked like they didn't care. They couldn't help but have nothing to say. After a few words of relief, they said goodbye and left together.
When Guo Jia saw people leaving, he sat up and took several concubines with him and said with a smile: "I'm afraid no one will bother me these days. Let's continue to have fun."
The concubines timidly said: "Master, why don't you take good care of yourself first?"
"Otherwise, if the master is ill, I will also be to blame."
After hearing this, Guo Jia said disapprovingly: "Aren't you afraid that if I die, I will have no peace of mind for the rest of my life?"
"It's so boring."
As the days passed, volunteer schools, blacksmith shops, trade routes, city repairs, etc. were all on the right track. Jicheng was an orderly and prosperous scene.
Thousands of miles away, the Yellow River ferry in Hexi County was in chaos.
Liu Xie sometimes feels that he is doing things too hastily.
A few days ago, the Baibo Army and the Xiongnu soldiers from Hedong went south to Caoyang, escorted them to relieve the siege, and defeated Li Jue and Guo Si. In view of Zhang Ji's defection to Li Jue before the battle, resulting in the death and injury of ministers, Liu Xie issued an edict to reprimand him.
But it can only be rebuked.
Then the emperor's chariot continued eastward, with Dong Cheng and Li Le escorting the chariot, and Hu Cai, Yang Feng and other rearguards. Li Jue organized his army and pursued them to Shaanxian County, where Wang's division was defeated.
In this battle, the emperor's army suffered heavy casualties. Guang Luxun Deng Yuan, Ting Wei Xuan Fan, Shaofu Tian Bing, Da Sinong Zhang Yi, and Shi Yushi Deng Pin all died in this battle. The number of Hu Ben Yu Lin guards was less than a hundred.
Yu Linlang is the most elite force of the Han Dynasty. There are more than 700 people who followed Liu Xie out of Chang'an. They are led by Shesheng Colonel Jujun. However, in the last defeat of Dongjian, after Jujun was captured by Li Jue, He was killed after cursing and refusing to surrender, and Habayashiro lost more than half of his body.
In this second major defeat, the Yulin Army was almost wiped out. Liu Xie was terrified and angry at the casualties among his direct henchmen. He felt that he had tried his best, but he still couldn't stop losing his composure and falling into the quagmire!
At the most critical moment, Li Jue's army had already begun to attack the emperor's chariot. Li Le shouted for Liu Xie to mount his horse and escape. Liu Xie shouted: "I can't abandon all officials!"
Liu Xie thought very clearly that these people in front of him were his last team members. If he escaped at this time, no one in the world would follow him anymore. It would be better to die.
Li Le also suggested taking a boat to cross the mainstay, but Liu Xie refused with the excuse that the emperor would not take a dangerous route.
"Yuan Ji Volume 28": Li Le was afraid and wanted to make his chariot and boat pass the mainstay and leave Mengjin. The edict said: "A son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall. Confucius was careful about the dangers of Fenghe. How can this be called the way to live in peace?"
Taiwei Yang Biao said: "I am a Hongnong man. From now on, there are thirty-six beaches in the east, which are not suitable for ten thousand people to climb." Zongzheng Liu Ai said: "I am the commander of Shaanxi in front of me and know the danger. There are old reasons. The river division is still in danger, but now we have no division. This is what the Taiwei is worried about."
The mainstay is the Thirty-Six Dangerous Banks of Sanmenxia. Crossing the river in this situation is a narrow escape. Not only did Liu Xie disagree, but all the officials also saw Li Le's intention and opposed it together.
After Li Le came to rescue him, Liu Xie had been with him for some time and had already figured out this person's temper.
Li Le did save him in times of crisis, but he was not entirely selfless. In fact, just like Yang Feng Dong Cheng, he was secretly ostracizing dissidents.
If Liu Xie abandons everyone and crosses the river to enter the Baibo Army's territory, Li Le can take the opportunity to get rid of other competitors and control Liu Xie alone.
Of course Liu Xie didn't want to give him this opportunity. He needed to keep Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others to check each other with the generals of the Baibo Army. Otherwise, he would be controlled by a certain force and sidelined, and it would be difficult to stand up!
Liu Xie secretly resented that if the forces under him worked together, they might not be able to fight. The previous defeat of Li Jue and Guo Si proved this.
However, most of the time afterwards, the various forces fought with each other in order to compete for power and gain, resulting in the inability to exert their strength.
On the other hand, although Li Jue and Guo Si had internal strife before, the threat has increased sharply after their reconciliation. Even if they were temporarily defeated before, they can quickly regroup and counterattack.
What made Liu Xie even more angry was that the reason why Li Jue and Guo Si's army was so troublesome was that on the one hand, the two of them fought bravely, and on the other hand, one of them had been mediating between the two of them, so that they could work together to defeat them. The Emperor's motorcade was forced into such a desperate situation.
In Liu Xie's view, this person is the most hateful, because this is not the first time!
Under his planning, he was knocked down from high places several times, as if he was his natural enemy.
Liu Xie wished he could cut this man into pieces!
Liangzhou Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!
Liu Xie secretly resented that without this person, he might have stayed in Chang'an, with Wang Yun and Lu Bu escorting him, how could he have ended up like this!
Liu Xie didn't know that at this moment, Jia Xu was also at war with nature and man in his heart.
At first, he just wanted to survive, so he struggled a few times in the rolling waves that enveloped him.
However, he was horrified to find that his unintentional actions had unexpected effects, and the general trend of the world changed its direction due to his inadvertent actions!
In the ninth year of the Yonghan Dynasty, Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor Liu Bian and established Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor. Jia Xu took the Taiwei as the captain of Pingjin and was later promoted to the captain of the Qilu school. At that time, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Zhonglang sent troops to Shaanxi, and Jia Xu Auxiliary troops in his army.
When the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian marched into Liangdong with overwhelming force. Under Jia Xu's plan, Sun Ce was defeated and fled in a hurry, experiencing one of the few defeats in his life.
In the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was killed. Wang Yun wanted to liquidate Dong Zhuo's remaining party, and Jia Xu was also among them.
Seeing that Li Jue and Guo Si were about to escape, he knew that this was a dead end, so he encouraged the two of them, saying: "You two abandoned the others and went alone. A pavilion chief can catch you. It is better to lead the troops to the west and recruit Xiliang along the way." Soldiers, generals, attack Chang'an to avenge Dong Gong. If successful, they can use the emperor to conquer the world. If they fail, it will not be too late to escape."
But Jia Xu did not expect that his idea would go so smoothly. Li Jue and Guo Si invaded Chang'an within a few days, and Lu Bu escaped.
Then things got out of hand.
Li Jue and Guo Si sent troops to plunder and plunder, killing more than 10,000 officials and civilians, and the corpses were piled up in the streets. Later, Wang Yun was killed, and the government was returned to two people.
After that, there was constant bloodshed in the court, and Jia Xu did not think of his own plan to cause such turmoil, so he refused to accept the rewards from high-ranking officials.
In fact, Jia Xu still favored Liu Xie in his heart. He was already disappointed with Li Jue and Guo Si who had lost control, but he was trapped in it and could not escape.
It is not that he has never done anything to help Liu Xie. For example, in the battle of Shaanxi County in the previous period, Situ Zhao Wen, Taichang Wang Jiang, Wei Wei Zhou Zhong, and Sili Xiao Wei Guan He were captured. Li Jue was about to kill them. Jia Xu Li Jue stopped him and then gave up.
"Yuan Ji Volume 28": At that time, Situ Zhao Wen, Taichang Wang Jiang, Wei Wei Zhou Zhong, and Sili Xiaowei Guan He were covered by (Li) Jue and wanted to kill them. Jia Xu said, "These are all ministers. What can you do to harm them?" Li Jue stopped.
But Jia Xu understands that he can no longer look back. He has done too many things that have harmed the Han Dynasty and even Liu Xie. The other party probably wants to tear his bones and skin him, right?
I just want to survive.
In the camp near the Yellow River ferry, a group of ministers and generals in front of Liu Xie were noisy.
His heart felt cold, and he finally had no way out.
Now that the convoy was forced to the crossing of the Yellow River, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, faced with a life-and-death decision, finally turned to Li Le and discussed crossing the river to Hedong County on the north bank to use the natural dangers of the Yellow River to stop Li Jue's pursuit.
Liu Xie had no choice but to agree: "Since the matter has come to this, let's follow the wishes of the ministers."
Dong Cheng was overjoyed and asked Liu Xuan and Li Le, the governors of Hexi County, to look for the boat. They agreed that after finding the boat, they would raise a fire as a signal. Now the light of fire appeared on the riverside, indicating that the boat had been found!
Liu Xie saw that all the officials were excited after hearing the news, knowing that there was no way out. He secretly hated it in his heart. It was clear that he had to kill first and then report later. The fire signal must have been seen by Li Jue and Guo Si, and he must have taken action. What else could he do? manage?
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "The matter has come to an end, all the ministers will follow me to break out of the encirclement!"
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly followed Liu Xie out of the camp and headed for the ferry.
Liu Xie pulled Fu Shou, always feeling that something was wrong, so he waved to the official servant She Fu De, pointed at Fu Shou and said, "Take care of her later."
After Fu De heard this, he quickly accepted the order. He was Fu Shou's brother, and he would not harm Fu Shou in public or private matters.
Everyone ran all the way to the bank of the Yellow River. They were all stunned and started to commotion.
Liu Xie's face also darkened, he was still being fooled!
The river bank is more than ten feet high from the water. Everyone is on the high bank and cannot get on the boat!
This is not the location of the ferry at all. This is clearly premeditated!
Hearing someone in the crowd suggest tying himself with a horse bridle, Liu Xie immediately understood the intention as he was hoisted onto the boat in the river.
This is to let him cross the river alone and let all officials die here!
But at this time, Li Jue and Guo Si's army had already caught up, and they could no longer look back!
At this time, everyone was in confusion. Liu Xie still wanted to speak. Someone in the crowd shouted: "Please go first, Emperor!"
Liu Xie bit his lips, turned around and shouted: "I will go down first, and all the ministers will follow me!"
But he couldn't find the rope in his hurry, so Dong Cheng asked someone to take out several horse bridles, take them apart, tie them up again and string them together. He wanted to tie it around Liu Xie's waist, but he was looking for someone to pull him down.
When Liu Xie saw it, he felt quite humiliated and said, "Is there nothing else?"
Dong Cheng heard this and immediately shouted: "Whoever has something suitable for the emperor, please take it out quickly and don't hide it, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
Liu Xie was stunned after hearing this, and instinctively felt something was wrong. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Fu De holding Fu Shou standing aside, while Fu Shou was holding several pieces of silk cloth in his arms.
At this moment, a long knife was raised high in the crowd and slashed towards Fu Shou's head!
