Guo Jia picked up the teacup and drank a cup, then said calmly: "If these people are not eliminated, the Han Dynasty will always have hidden dangers. I want to eliminate this scourge for the Han Dynasty. Is Yunchang willing to help?"

Guan Yu is full of heroic spirit.

"How can I fall behind in getting rid of the traitors for the Han Dynasty? I will send people to secretly monitor Sun Quan's residence. If he makes any move, they will be killed!"

Guo Jia shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Guan Yu's idea.

"Yun Chang, this matter is exactly the opposite. Not only should we not monitor him, but we need to release all surveillance. Only in this way can we make him dare to take action."

Guan Yu instantly understood what Guo Jia meant.

"Just follow Feng Xiao's words."

Looking at Guo Jia's slowly leaving figure, Guan Yu showed a trace of worry on his face.

Uncle Liu asked Guo Jia to stay in Jingzhou so that he could calm down and recuperate. But looking at Guo Jia's current condition, how could he look like he was recuperating at all?

Guo Jia walked slowly on the bluestone paved road. Perhaps because the wind was a little cold today, Guo Jia couldn't help coughing.

The servant was about to step forward and invite Guo Jia to get on the carriage, but Guo Jia waved his hand to stop him.

In Guo Jia's eyes, today's sky was as blue as a gem, snow-white clouds were floating leisurely, and the sunlight was shining softly and warmly on the earth. It could indeed be called good weather.

Even if there was an occasional breeze, the gentle breeze would not have much impact on him at this moment.

However, only he himself knew that beneath this seemingly calm and peaceful appearance, was the fact that his health was deteriorating.

He could clearly feel the deterioration of his condition. The illness was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, devouring his vitality and energy bit by bit.

Although he still looked calm on the outside, he knew in his heart that his condition was becoming increasingly serious and difficult to reverse.

With his keen insight and intelligent mind, Guo Jia could foresee that in the near future he would bid farewell to this world forever.

Facing death, he did not have too much fear, because the cycle of life and death is the common sense of the world.

What really made him feel uneasy and regretful was that there was one thing that had not been accomplished.

This unfinished matter was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on his heart, making him unable to let it go in the last moments of his life.

In his opinion, only after this was accomplished could the Han Dynasty truly achieve rejuvenation.

Letting Jia Xu test Uncle Liu was the beginning of this action, and relaxing Sun Quan's surveillance was his another move.

Only when all the chess pieces are gathered together can the game become exciting enough!

……

……

Xi Zhicai, who was in Yizhou, was playing chess. He slowly placed a chess piece on the chessboard and said to Cheng Yu in front of him, "Zhongde, if you continue playing this game, I'm afraid it won't be long before you have to resign and admit defeat."

Cheng Yu smiled faintly and said, "It's probably too early to say who wins or loses when the game is just in the middle."

Xi Zhicai chuckled and said, "Zhongde has a strong character. I admire him very much."

Cheng Yu said: "These days, we have received news that Liu Huangshu's army is attacking Yizhou. It is only with this tenacity that we have managed to hold on until now."

Xi Zhicai said calmly: "Zhongde, don't worry. Although Liu Huangshu has a large army and his offensive is very fierce, it has been a month and he has never captured a city."

"That's not true. Yizhou's natural defenses are not just talk. I've seen those long and narrow paths. Even with thousands of troops, they can only move slowly. If we continue to attack at this speed, it's unlikely that we will be able to break through these long and narrow paths.

If we were still in Yanzhou, and Uncle Liu attacked the city with such force, I'm afraid we would have been defeated long ago."

Cheng Yu's words were right. Now Liu Yu sent four armies to attack the city, with nearly 200,000 troops deployed. It was obvious that Uncle Liu had also put all his elite troops into Yizhou.

"We have traveled a long way, but have achieved nothing. This situation will not last long. We just need to hold on, and there will be a turning point."

Xi Zhicai was very confident. He believed that as long as he could hold on to Yizhou, combined with his plans outside, he would be able to turn the situation around.

Just at this moment, a soldier walked in from outside the door, bowed, and handed Xi Zhicai a letter with both hands.

Xi Zhicai took a look, and his eyes suddenly appeared.

"The emperor is actually from Chang'an City? How is this possible?"

Xi Zhicai then took a few more glances and confirmed that the source of the information should be very credible, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, you are indeed a rare genius. The grand ceremony of welcoming the emperor to Luoyang City was actually a cover-up."

If they really knew that the emperor was in Chang'an City, they should have been able to capture Chang'an City when they besieged it, even if they had to use only half of their main forces!

Once the emperor is in hand, even if he is in Yizhou, he can still use the emperor's name to command the world.

Guo Jia was so upset that he had no intention of making a move even though a winning situation was about to appear on the chessboard.

"The emperor is hiding in Chang'an City. This is such a secret. If it has been concealed for so long, why did we suddenly learn of this news at this time?"

During the Battle of Chang'an, Cheng Yu was stationed in Chengdu and did not go with the army. He was not as aware as Xi Zhicai about the opportunity to lose Chang'an. He analyzed the situation in time and asked the key to the matter.

Xi Zhicai stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After walking for a while, he finally calmed down.

Yes, the past cannot be retrieved, and there is no point in regretting it. The most important thing now is why they are in this situation?

Why would someone release news about the emperor at this time?

Xi Zhicai was silent for a long time, and finally he had some clues.

"Now, except for Yizhou, the whole world has been pacified. It seems that Liu Huangshu's people can't sit still anymore. They deliberately leaked the news about the emperor to make us take action against him. Then they will take the opportunity to make the emperor disappear."

"Uncle Liu actually wants to kill the emperor?"

"Once we make a move, the crime of regicide will fall on us, and they will be able to reap the benefits and achieve eternal achievements. This is a brilliant plan!"

Cheng Yu had a look of disdain on his face and sneered repeatedly.

"I thought that Liu Huangshu really wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, so he worked hard and fought everywhere. In the end, it was all for that chair."

"Since ancient times, there has been infinite magic power on that chair. Some people would kill their fathers and sons for this chair. Now, for Emperor Liu, killing a nephew who is not related to him by blood is not a big deal. What's the problem?"

Cheng Yu was silent for a long while before he slowly asked, "Since we already know his intentions, we should not interfere. Since Liu Huangshu wants to go further, let him bear the crime of regicide alone!"

Xi Zhicai smiled sinisterly and said, "Even if they set up the stage, how can the play be performed well without actors on stage?"
