Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 348
The content of the Bloody Edict is no doubt that Lu Bu, as a Han official, should serve the Han Dynasty. Killing Dong Zhuo is a great achievement.

On the contrary, it was the confession letter with a woman's fragrance that made Lu Bu feel very itchy after reading it.

Lu Bu has a feature that is hard to tell whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, and that is that he attaches great importance to women.

In Princess Gaoyang's letter, not only did she boldly express her admiration for Lu Bu, but she also secretly revealed that she would promise her to serve her for the rest of her life when Lu Bu rescued her.

Princess Gaoyang is a genuine Han princess, with a noble status and outstanding temperament.

Moreover, Lu Bu had met her before, and knew that Princess Gaoyang was outstanding in appearance, and she could be called the number one beauty in Chang'an faintly. Because of her wit and intelligence, she was not insulted by Dong Zhuo.

It was hard for Lu Bu not to be moved by such a noble beauty's passionate confession.

In addition, he and Dong Zhuo have been at odds for a long time, and the time has indeed gradually matured. Now with Queen Xuan's bloody edict, the name of righteousness is complete.

Lu Bu no longer hesitated, and decided to send troops out of Liangzhou and go to Chang'an to attack Dong Zhuo for the beauty and the prominent position he dreamed of.

Not to be outdone, Han Sui Ma Teng and others agreed to send troops together to conquer Dong Zhuo.

When Dong Zhuo received the news that Lu Bu had raised his troops towards Chang'an, he was startled and angry, and immediately dispatched Li Jue and Guo Si as generals, each with [-] elite cavalry to resist the enemy.

Li Jue and Lu Bu fought in Chiyang, and Guo Si also met Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiangyang.

Both Li Jue and Guo Si knew that Lu Bu, Ma Chao and others were invincible, so they all rationally defended the city, and did not carelessly go out of the city to fight the enemy.

Although Lu Bu and Ma Chao were brave, it was impossible to directly break through the city gate or fly up the city wall to kill the enemy, so the offensive was repeatedly blocked.

The two sides fell into a stalemate again for the time being, and both were thinking hard about a good strategy to defeat the enemy.

After Liu Xie read the battle information between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, his expression became a little dignified.

If they continue to fight like this, they will most likely be picked up by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has already occupied the entire territory of Sili and part of Yuzhou, and he took down Hanzhong not long ago. If he wins the land of Guanzhong again, Cao Cao's strength will increase instantly. I don't know how much it will be. In terms of territory and population, it is comparable to him.

Moreover, unlike Liu Xie's powerful enemies in the three states, although Cao Cao's territory has some minor troubles, they are not to be feared.

But Liu Xie has Yuan Shao, a famous family who occupies Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, and Sun Jian, a fierce tiger who occupies the dangerous Jiangdong land of the Yangtze River in the south.

But now is not a good time for him to send troops to expand his territory. Xuzhou is currently recuperating, and the surrounding princes are not easy to mess with except Yuan Shu, who is easy to attack.

Moreover, Yuan Shu is not as easy to deal with as he imagined, after all, he still has another identity, that is, the son of the Yuan family.

Although there was a rift between him and Yuan Shao, blood is thicker than water, and Liu Xie had formed a hatred with Yuan Shao, if he raised troops to attack Runan, Yuan Shao would inevitably sneak behind him.

Since the road of expansion is temporarily unavailable, Liu Xie can only focus on internal development.

The armies of the three states have been trained by top commanders like Yue Fei and Xue Li. Their combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of cavalry is gradually increasing. The situation is very good.

As for the navy, Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning lived up to Liu Xie's great trust. After a large number of vehicles and boats were improved and manufactured, the two have led the navy team to continue exploring the depths of the sea.

The Qingzhou navy has greatly enhanced both its water combat capability and its soldiers' ability to adapt to the sea and various bad weather. It can already be compared with the Jingzhou navy, and gradually can be compared with the Jiangdong navy.

But now, what Liu Xie is busy with has nothing to do with the military.

Under the continuous attempts of the Military Supervision, Ma Jun and the others finally produced a movable type printing mold that was a bit rough but barely usable based on the movable type printing atlas provided by Liu Xie.

The first edition printed was the Confucian masterpiece "The Great Learning" recommended by great Confucian scholars such as Cai Yong and Sima Hui.

"University" is a prose that discusses the Confucian thought of self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace. It is simpler than "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", etc., and it is easy to understand and suitable for people to read.

Liu Xie began to regret that he had not learned enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" in his previous life. If he could barely remember it, he could copy and revise it as enlightenment books of this era.

However, although he couldn't remember everything, he could remember a few sentences of everything, so he gave Sima Hui and others an example of his ideas in a very inhumane way, and asked them to consider whether they could supplement and compile it.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold; writing a book and biography is not an overnight effort.

Liu Xie didn't urge them, but just let them have this direction of thinking.

However, with the continuous improvement of printing technology, the Military Weapons Supervisor piled up a lot of newly printed poems and books.

Liu Xie also knew that he could no longer keep secrets from Cai Yong, Sima Hui and others. After all, the Academy will depend on them for support in the future, and they will definitely know by then.

"Look at these books, what unusual things might you find?"

Liu Xie was mysterious, and called Cai Yong, Song Lian, Qiao Xuan, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, Kong Rong, Kong Ni, almost all the old men and scholars around him, and asked Dian Wei and Xu Chu to move two big boxes Let them check out the new book.

As soon as Dian Wei and Xu Chu opened the box, a strong aroma of ink immediately spread out, which was refreshing.

Several old men couldn't sit still, and one of them stepped forward to take a book and read it carefully.

Sima Hui was greedy, he hugged a thick stack by himself, and only started to look through it when he got back to his seat.

Sima Hui had just read a few pages and seemed to have discovered something unusual. He flipped through the book faster and faster, and the shocked expression on his face became more obvious.

Sima Hui suddenly thought of something, carefully put down the book in his hand, picked up the book next to him and looked through it, and made Huang Chengyan at the side say that he swallowed the jujube and never read it carefully, wasting such a good book for nothing.

"Boy, how did you get these books? How come every word size, stroke, handwriting, etc. are all exactly the same. They are neat, clear, and arranged in an orderly manner. They are not the result of human copying at all."

Sima Hui looked at Liu Xie in surprise, and became more serious than ever.

When he said this, the others immediately reacted.

They felt that these books were a little strange before, but they didn't know where the strangeness was.

Now being reminded by Sima Hui, he quickly flipped through the book to confirm that it was exactly what Sima Hui said. They all shook their hands slightly and looked at Liu Xie with wide eyes in shock.

"Hey, you guessed it right, I have a way to mass-produce these books."

Although Liu Xie spoke lightly, all the old men present were stunned.

"Boy, our heart is not good, don't make jokes."

Although Sima Hui had already guessed it, but when Liu Xie admitted it himself, he couldn't believe it.

Or rather, I'm more afraid that it's just a joy in vain.
