Although it has been five years since then, when they see each other's faces, they are all very convinced:

He is the person he knows.

Sima Yi stood up and walked towards Liu Xie, ready to kneel down and perform the rituals of the king and his subjects: "Greetings to you."

However, before he finished speaking, Liu Xie gently held Sima Yi's elbows with both hands. Sima Yi looked up at Liu Xie's warm eyes, and couldn't help but feel excited and moved.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I thought we would never see each other again in this life."

Thinking of his own situation, Liu Xie couldn't help feeling sad again. Sima Yi hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty does not need to panic. Although the situation is very dangerous now, it is not yet at the end of the road."

After hearing this, Sima Fang asked anxiously: "Zhongda, what are your plans?"

"For the sake of this, Your Majesty must quickly cross the Yellow River." Sima Yi said to everyone: "I have just observed that our people have suffered a lot of casualties. Although this is a very harmful thing, it is a god-given opportunity for our current situation. Due to the small number of people, the difficulty of crossing the river has been greatly reduced. The most important thing now is to find a few ferries to ferries in a short period of time."

Fu Wan nodded: "In order to catch up with Your Majesty as soon as possible, Li Jue and Guo Si's troops are all iron cavalry, and there are many people. Once we cross the Yellow River, it will be very difficult for them to cross the river to pursue. In this way, they will be out of their sphere of influence when they arrive at Hedong County, and we will get a chance to breathe."

"That's right." Sima Yi continued: "When we cross the river, we should try to find all the ships we can find along the coast, and do not leave them one. Even if we can't use it, we must sink it, so that we can drag out their pursuit with the water of the Yellow River."

After hearing this, Dong Cheng expressed his agreement: "Your Majesty, this young man's offer is the best strategy. Please cross the river as soon as possible without hesitation."

Liu Xie smiled and said, "I know Zhongda's abilities more than any of you, so of course I won't hesitate."

After saying that, Liu Xie immediately asked Dong Cheng to pass on the order and acted according to Sima Yi's advice. Everyone was finally relieved.

Shortly after the order was issued, a gray pigeon flew from the corner at some point and headed towards Xuzhou.

Everything went as smoothly as everyone expected. The requisition of the ships had been almost done. Yang Feng sent all the people to sank the ships that were not needed, leaving only more than ten ships and boatmen waiting for the call.

On the other hand, Sima Yi also reminded Liu Xie to contact most of the Baibo army and the Hun soldiers who had retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River in advance, so that they could prepare for the royal army to get ashore.

The most important thing is to prepare for the pursuit of Li Jue and Guo Si after His Majesty arrives ashore.

"Hasn't all the ships been disposed of? Why should we be prepared to fight?"

Liu Xie and Sima Yi sat around the bonfire, not understanding why Sima Yi wanted to do this in vain.

Sima Yi picked up a dead branch on the ground, looked at the flame that made the dry firewood crackle and said:

"I thought it was because Jia Xu was by Li Jue before, so I didn't feel surprised, but now Jia Xu is no longer there. Li Jue and Guo Si's actions were very repetitive, as if someone was interfering in the middle. This person must not be on our side."

"Who will this person be?" Liu Xie thought about it and found that the princes around him are now unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that they are loyal to him and the Han Dynasty, so anyone can do it.

"He doesn't want you to return to Luoyang to make the situation more chaotic so that he can take advantage of the situation and make profits from it. On the surface, it's good that the purpose of Li Jue and Guo Si is to hijack you, and they don't intend to take your life." Sima Yi broke the dead branches in his hand and threw them into the bonfire: "If I were the one hiding in the dark, I definitely hope you die at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si."

"It makes sense." Fu Wan handed Sima Yi the bamboo tube filled with water in his hand: "Only when His Majesty's prince's flag, which symbolizes the authority of the Han Dynasty, is broken, the situation will become even more uncontrollable."

"Yes." Sima Yi took the bamboo tube and continued to think: "Once you disappear, the princes who have lost their center of gravity will definitely be ready to move. Then the melee will continue. Although Li Jue and Guo Si do not have the courage to kill the lord at the moment, Your Majesty needs to be more careful."

Liu Xie nodded frequently when he heard this. At this moment, Sima Yi realized something was wrong. He always felt that there were eyes staring at them. He immediately looked around alertly, but after everyone looked over, he did not notice any suspicious characters.

At night, Liu Xie invited Sima Yi to have a chat together. The two of them talked about each other's experiences over the years. Fu Ruoxin also held his chin and listened for a long time without any sleepiness. Even though Liu Xie urged her and Fu Shou to go to rest together several times, she insisted on not following her. The pair of spiritual eyes remained on Sima Yi's every move that calmly analyses the situation.

Before we knew it, the moon was already hidden in the dark clouds on our faces, and the soldiers responsible for the night watch were exhausted due to the days of war. They were tired and could not help but take a nap.

Suddenly, shouts of killing surrounded them, and Liu Xie stood up in shock:

"What's going on?"

Sima Yi squinted his eyes and instantly reacted to the strange aura he noticed when he was chatting two hours ago:

"It must be the spies in the army who informed the enemy. Without further ado, all the supplies were discarded and the personnel were allowed to board the ship."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Feng said, "Someone has asked the sergeant to do this just now."

Liu Xie and Sima Yi felt strange: "Who is that person?"

"Censor Zhong Yuanchang."

The retreat was in a hurry, and everyone became panicked, and the situation was in chaos for a moment. Sima Yi and Liu Xie were rushing away by the fleeing soldiers. Liu Xie was searching for Sima Yi everywhere. At this time, the two soldiers discovered Liu Xie and rushed forward to support Liu Xie and left. In a panic, Sima Yi, Fu Shou and others could not find where Liu Xie went. After asking all the soldiers, no one knew. Strong uneasiness arose in Sima Yi's heart.

The two soldiers drove Liu Xie and walked forward. Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from everyone, Liu Xie asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Caoyang Camp, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers' words made Liu Xie sweat coldly: "You are."

In an instant, he realized that these two people were from Li Jue and Guo Si. He hurriedly stood up and refused to walk forward. The soldiers forced him to drag him. One of the soldiers asked, "It doesn't matter if this is the case. He is also the emperor no matter how he said it."

Another soldier said: "The general's order is to bring him to their presence, and he can live."

As they were talking, suddenly a figure walked out from behind the willow tree in the night, blocking them without saying a word. Only the cold-lighted gun in their hands was particularly frightening. Seeing that he was standing alone and not talking, they quickly raised the long halberd in their hands and asked loudly:

"Who!"

However, the man did not answer their questions, but raised the silver spear in his hand and ran towards them quickly. Before they could set off, the assassin had rushed to them. Liu Xie hardly saw his gun swing again. The two of them were already picked under the gun. They only saw clearly that their throats were pierced and died when they fell to the ground.

Liu Xie was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and asked in panic: "Are you saving the car or?"

The assassin did not answer him, but raised the gun in his hand again, aimed at Liu Xie's forehead and prepared to stab him.

"His Majesty!"

The assassin who had just raised his gun stopped his movements when he heard the horse's neighing. He watched Sima Yi come quickly on his horse. Sima Yi was not afraid of facing the assassin, waved the reins and rushed straight towards him. When he was about to come to him, he stopped quickly. The horse raised his front hooves and neighed. In order to avoid the horse's hooves, the assassin quickly dodged sideways.

In front of this person who suddenly disturbed the situation, the Assassin Province had long dreams, and immediately raised his gun and stabbed Liu Xie not far away. Seeing that something was wrong, Sima Yi shouted to dodge him, but Liu Xie, who was almost broken, had no strength to hide anymore. In desperation, he jumped off the horse and pounced on Liu Xie. The silver spear tore open the flesh and stabbed into his right back.

"Zhongda!"

Sima Yi fell into Liu Xie's arms and fell into a coma. Liu Xie touched the wound on Sima Yi's back. The blood light made him very scared, so his expression became even more dull. Seeing that the person in the way had been removed, the assassin stood up and pulled the spear out of Sima Yi's back. In an instant, blood gushed. He raised the gun again to prepare to get rid of Liu Xie again.

Just as he raised his gun, he suddenly stopped and swung his gun at the air behind him. However, because of this action, a sharp arrow flying from behind him was knocked down by his gun. When he realized it, two people were already riding horses and watching him, one of them held a hard bow in his hand and was aiming the arrow at him:

"You try to stab it again? I think it's your gun that pierces his chest first, or my arrow that pierces your head first!"

"General Xiahou, don't hurt him, capture him alive and ask for the mastermind."

Seeing that he was unable to save himself, the assassin jumped onto the horse that Sima Yi rode. When Xiahou Yuan saw that he was about to run, he immediately fired an arrow. The assassin waved his gun and blocked it again, and then ran away.

"Are we catching up?" General Xiahou put away the bow and arrow and asked the man on the horse's back beside him.
