Chapter 322

Liu Bei also sighed,

"I also didn't expect His Majesty to suffer such a calamity."

"Meng De, Dong Cheng guarded His Majesty for so long and fought to the death; he should not be treated this way."

"Fa Zheng, find someone to properly tidy up for General Dong."

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Cheng's daughter wept and kowtowed to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sighed and helped Lady Dong up.

"Miss Dong, please restrain your grief."

"Lord Xuande's great kindness, I have no way to repay... wuwu."

Liu Bei had not expected Cao Cao to kill Dong Cheng. In the end, he had some responsibility, and he felt a shred of apology toward Miss Dong.

However, historically, Dong Cheng was also killed by Cao Cao.

Liu Bei walked slowly to the side of Liu Xie's corpse, sighed to himself, and said sorry in his heart.

"Feng Xiao, send men quickly to the various Inspectors and Commandery Governors to announce the funeral."

"Understood!"

"Wen Yuan, take troops and kill all those rebel thieves led by Wu Xi! Bring their heads back!"

"Understood!"

Liu Bei looked at these old ministers,

"Everyone, let us escort His Majesty back to Luoyang."

"Lord Xuande's words are exactly right!"

"Indeed."

Liu Bei again sent Fa Zheng to Hedong to have supplies sent over urgently.

Cao Cao was depressed in his heart, but he had no choice but to lead his troops with Liu Bei toward Luoyang to arrange Liu Xie's funeral.

Cao Cao, who had wanted to hold the Emperor hostage to command the warlords and achieve hegemony, was now in an extremely low mood.

He was as depressed now as he had been high-spirited before.

He even discussed building Xudu with Xi Zhicai on the road.

Soon,

the news that the Emperor had been killed by stray arrows on his way back east spread throughout the entire Nine Provinces.
