Yuan Shao's death successfully caused an uproar among the aristocratic families.
Although Lü Bu and the others had heard about it outside the capital, within three days, the news had spread.
The news had already spread to everyone's ears, and the Yuan Clan was even more furious.
Fortunately, their legitimate son, Yuan Shu, was still there. They were also considering whether it was worth it to reward Yuan Shao.
After all, everyone knew that Yuan Shao did not succeed.
In the end, they persuaded the former aristocratic families.
Only then did they give up.
They took Yuan Shu out of Lü Bu's sphere of influence. Lü Bu received a letter from Cao Cao and successfully explained it.
At that time, he was preparing to leave the capital.
The newly crowned little emperor sat behind the army.
The civil and military officials trembled with fear and trepidation.
They all looked at the Cangyun Army around them with frightened eyes.
Except for a few ministers who were resting with their eyes closed.
"Your Majesty, don't panic.
I just want Your Majesty to change to a safe place! "Lü Bu rode on horseback.
He glanced at the little emperor in the carriage, who was looking at him warily, and chuckled.
Liu Bian stared at him for a while, sitting in the carriage with his short arms and legs.
He raised his head and looked at the young man through the window beside the carriage.
He asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"Liangzhou?"
"How is that possible?"
"Liangzhou is the border."
Lü Bu reined in his horse.
His tone was cold as he said, "My father said that he would take you somewhere else, although I'm quite annoyed with you guys who are full of nonsense.
Although you guys are very annoying, my father likes you very much. "
Xie Lige's original words were that the little emperor looked quite well-behaved.
He was quite similar to Lü Bu when he was young.
It was better to take him with them.
At that time, the people who were listening were Jia Xu, Xuan Xiao, and Lu Xiaobu.
The other two nodded in agreement.
When it came to Lü Bu, it became proof that his father liked the little emperor. The hostility in his heart grew like weeds. As soon as the little emperor boarded the carriage, he ran over from time to time, scaring the civil and military officials around him.
He probably didn't expect the famous Lü Bu to be so childish. The childish little Emperor looked at him silently and didn't say anything.
Seeing the little emperor's bored expression, Lü Bu snorted a few times and turned to leave.
When he came to the front of the army, he was caught alive by Xie Lige, who was talking to Jia Xu. The white-haired man narrowed his eyes and looked at his silly, innocent son. He asked, "Did you go and scare the little emperor again?"
Lü Bu: "…" Hmph!
"…" Xie Lige's hands itched when she saw the naughty child's awkward expression.
Helplessly, Jia Xu mediated between them. When Xie Lige saw Jia Xu's smiling face, he already felt guilty. Now, he couldn't get angry, so he could only turn around and leave.
Jia Xu turned to look at the sulking Lü Bu and raised his eyebrows.
"Father is biased!" Lü Bu mouthed a few words and raised his eyebrows. He was very angry.
Jia Xu put his finger in front of him and signaled him to be quiet.
Lü Bu saw this and shrank back to his original position. Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze on him. He raised his head and saw that the man in purple who had been following his father was looking at his master. Jia Xu smiled gently and didn't fear the other party's aura.
"General, what are we going to do next?"
～
Xie Lige didn't notice the fight behind him. He was thinking about something with his head down. He was riding on the back of a horse and holding the reins with one hand. Suddenly, he turned his head and shouted at Lü Bu.
"Lü Fengxian, come here!"
Lü Bu stole a glance at the smiling Jia Xu and the cold man in purple next to him. He snorted coldly and followed behind his father. When he got there, his tone immediately became much more obedient.
"Father!"
"Yes, where do you think the Yuan family will retreat to?"
"South or north?"
"Jizhou!" Lü Bu said without thinking.
Xie Lige heard this and couldn't help but smile. He was very satisfied with his son's answer. He asked, "Why?"
"There are heroes fighting for supremacy in other places. Only Gongsun Zan has old grudges. Plus, the location of Jizhou is very coincidental!"
Lü Bu used his finger to draw a map in the air. The situation of the heroes in the world was gently drawn by his finger. He pointed at a point in the lower right corner and said, "This is Liangzhou. That land borders Chang 'an. Chang' an and Jizhou are only separated by Hedong County. Liangzhou is also nearby."
Xie Lige continued, "We can attack if we advance, and defend if we retreat!"
"Very good!" Lü Bu agreed.
Xie Lige nodded with satisfaction. He turned his head and asked Jia Xu, "Teacher, what do you think?"
Jia Xu, of course, heard the conversation between father and son. He silently watched from the side. He didn't make a sound until the two finished talking. When he heard Xie Lige's question, he raised his head.
"Does the General want to conquer the world?"
Xie Lige raised his eyebrows. "Why do you think so?"
Jia Xu said calmly in a low voice, "If I'm not wrong, the General will take Jizhou and attack Yizhou in three years!"
Xie Lige smiled but didn't say anything.
"Once Yi Province is taken down …"
Hearing his master's words, Lu Bu's mind began to slowly draw a picture according to his master's train of thought. After conquering Ji Province, he began to attack Yi Province and then circled the next area. Lu Bu opened his eyes wide.
"Half!"
His voice was full of surprise.
Jia Xu looked at him calmly.
Xie Lige smiled and squinted his eyes. "As expected, nothing can escape your eyes."
Jizhou was in the north and Yizhou was in the south, but the two directions were in the same straight line. According to Xie Lige's plan, as long as they took Jizhou and Yizhou, they would be able to slowly encroach on the territories of the other vassals without any effort. Even if the other vassals realized it, they wouldn't be able to escape from this net.
Lü Bu didn't know if he was impressed by his father's foresight or because he was too inexperienced.
They were both in the process of conquering the world, but his father relied on his brain to make his opponents helpless. He, on the other hand, was tricked by that bastard Yuan Shao even when he entered Chang 'an.
Comparisons were odious.
"The most important thing is that some benevolent and righteous people should be left for last."
The little Emperor was still in their hands.
Weren't most benevolent and righteous people inexplicably attracted to things like the Emperor?
Lü Bu was reminded and thought for a long time. When he finally understood, it was already dark. His father stopped in front and raised his hand.
Lü Bu hurried forward.
"Stop!" Xie Lige said lightly. "Set up camp!"
The soldiers heard the general's words and began to move. They set up camp and set up camp. Everyone had something to do. After a while, they finished packing.
Everyone was tired. After a day of traveling, even the little Emperor sitting in the carriage was tired. Xie Lige wasn't tired physically. After all, the system was good. He was just a little tired mentally.
It was dark.
Everyone returned to their own tents to rest.
Xie Lige sat in his tent and looked at the map, writing and drawing from time to time. There was a lamp next to the short table. The dim light shone on the map, forming light and deep shadows. After some time, a gentle voice sounded from outside the tent.
"General, can I come in?"
Xie Lige heard that it was Jia Xu. He didn't even raise his head and answered.
Jia Xu, who was outside the door, chuckled. He pulled the curtain and entered. He immediately saw Xie Lige, who was deep in thought. The white-haired man frowned. His handsome features were as white as jade. He glanced over and a light flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Wen He, come here and let me take a look. Is this Zhang Xiu going to attack?"
Jia Xu, who originally wanted to talk to Xie Lige, didn't know what to say.
He looked at the white-haired man's eager expression and sighed. He walked over.
This conversation lasted for about two hours. The two of them had a deep understanding of Zhang Xiu. They talked about all kinds of things until they had specific answers. Xie Lige was satisfied and ended the conversation.
Only then did he remember that Jia Xu had something to do first. Xie Lige blinked and asked, "What is it, Wen He?"
Jia Xu was helpless.
He also knew this person's temper, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he began to reply.
"I want to ask how you have been all these years, General?"
Hearing this, Xie Lige thought about how he had been all these years. All kinds of scenes of him showing off in front of people flashed before his eyes. He thought about those trembling ministers and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Pretty, pretty good."
Jia Xu showed a considerate and gentle smile. "That's good. I'm relieved."
Xie Lige was drowned in guilt.
After successfully bullying his lord, Jia Xu looked at the other party's guilty gaze and waved his sleeves and left without a trace.
No one dared to throw a pile of mess at him and still run amok.
No one!
Xie Lige, who was immersed in guilt, didn't notice Jia Xu leave. Naturally, he didn't notice a purple figure lifting the curtain and coming in. Xuan Xiao's gaze swept past the guilty-looking Xie Lige. He frowned and immediately understood that Jia Xu had come. He immediately felt a little unhappy.
However, he didn't say anything because he had ulterior motives.
He only stopped when he was in front of Xie Lige and was discovered.
"What are you doing here?"
Xie Lige was almost frightened by the sudden appearance of someone in front of him. When he saw Xuan Xiao's expressionless face, he immediately felt a headache. Why didn't they stay in their own tents? Why did they come to visit him?
Xuan Xiao said in a low voice, "I'm here to find you."
Xie Lige said, "Find me?"
"I didn't die first. You died first. Don't look for me. I don't owe anyone anything!"
Xuan Xiao didn't expect Xie Lige to be so unpredictable. He almost choked.
Then, his gaze swept past Xie Lige, who had a guarded expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "What about the second world?
Where did you go when Shaogong got married? When I woke up, you were gone. Do you know how worried I was? "
"That child almost went crazy from worry."
Xie Lige was afraid that someone would mention this. He was full of guilt towards his son, Shaogong.
His snow-white hair fell in front of his chest and his chin was tense. It was obvious that his master wasn't in a good mood.
Xuan Xiao saw this scene from his perspective. His heart instantly softened. His tone became gentle as he said, "I just missed you."
"…" Xie Lige felt that Xuan Xiao was a little strange today.
Xuan Xiao looked at the silent Xie Lige and sighed helplessly. He then told Xie Lige what happened in the previous world.
"Shaogong got married and gave birth to a boy. The child is a seedling for immortal cultivation. On account of you, he went to Heaven's Wall City. When I came out and saw that you weren't around, I went crazy for a period of time. When I woke up, I ascended and came to find you."
