Han Dao world

Liu Xie suppressed a smile. "Awan, don't lie. This is the son of Taiwei Yang Gong, the servant of the Huangmen Yang Xiu Yang Dezu."

Dong Wan was startled, smiled embarrassingly, turned around, shrunk her neck behind Yang Xiu's back, and curled her lips.

Liu Xie said: "Awan, Yang Shilang has just entered an official position and is not familiar with the situation. Please explain it to him."

Dong Wan felt a little guilty, and cast a glance at Liu Xie, wanting to beg for mercy, but met Liu Xie's encouraging eyes.She hesitated for a moment, then stammered about the situation in the camp.

"Most of my father's subordinates come from the Guan... east, and most of them... are from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang City and forced the capital to be moved. The people of Luoyang had... nowhere to go, and many people came to visit their relatives, so..."

Although Dong Wan was nervous, she still explained the situation clearly.After Yang Xiu listened, he looked at Dong Cheng's camp with ashes in his eyes.

I thought that Dong Cheng's camps were full of soldiers, but I didn't expect that nearly half of them were family members who had no fighting power at all.

How is this played?

Yang Xiu secretly glanced at Liu Xie at the side, licked his lips, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Liu Xie is also very broken, but he has seen more broken ones, and more importantly, he believes in the judgment of Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui, so he can still maintain a basic calm.

He doesn't know the situation of Dong Cheng's camp, Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui should know.Since they still have confidence, it shows that the situation is not hopeless, let alone as hopeless as Yang Xiu thought.

After waiting for a while, Dong Cheng came with several school lieutenants and Sima, introduced them one by one, and introduced their previous exploits in the Battle of Xinfeng.

Liu Xie listened carefully, asking for some detailed information from time to time, verifying the battle history mentioned by Wang Yue and others, and at the same time knowing more about these generals.

Although none of these people can leave their names in history, there are only a few who can leave their names in history. In the tide of history, there are more ordinary people who are unknown. A large part of his hope of making a comeback is pinned on on these people.

Seeing that although Liu Xie was young, he had a clear mind, most of the questions he asked were on the point, very practical, his attitude was approachable, his words were calm and unhurried, and he didn't see too much tension. These generals were both surprised and happy. Gradually increased.

The monarchs and ministers had questions and answers, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Are all your family members in the camp?" Liu Xie asked.

Several captains and Sima looked at each other and nodded in unison. Only one Sima from Hanoi named Han Hong raised his hand. "The minister's family members are not in the camp."

"Where is your family?"

"It should be in Li Yang."

Liu Xie was puzzled. "Why in Liyang, should it be?"

Han Hong was a little uneasy. "I have an old relationship with Sima Fang, the former commander of Luoyang, and entrusted his eldest son, Sima Lang, to take care of the family. Later, I heard that Sima Lang took his relatives to Liyang, so the minister's family should be there too. It's just that these years have been chaotic, and there is no communication. So I can't be sure."

Liu Xie nodded in understanding. "Miss them?"

"I think, when I left Luoyang, my wife was pregnant and unable to move, so I didn't join the army. After a few years, I don't know whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl. If she is alive, she should be enlightened and study." Han Hong said with red eyes.

"Then you should live well, and don't let your children lose sight of their biological father."

Han Hong held back his tears and nodded. "Thank you Your Majesty, I must... work hard to live."

Dong Cheng frowned slightly, but stopped talking.

"Gentlemen, the battlefield is dangerous, and life and death are unpredictable, but if you prepare more, you will have more chances." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "Li Jue and Guo Si are cruel, and you must be very clear. Needless to say. But the Li Jue and Guo Si of today are not the Li Jue and Guo Si of a few years ago, this time..."

Liu Xie paused, and said word by word: "Perhaps this is the opportunity for you to take revenge."

Everyone looked at Liu Xie suspiciously and looked at each other.

Even Yang Xiu was a little surprised.It is understandable that the emperor wants to boost morale, but it would be too hasty to go out in person.

Do you think that if I can convince Yang Ding, you can convince these people?

It's taken for granted.

Liu Xie knew that they would not believe it easily, but he was not in a hurry. He waited for a while to let their emotions fully ferment, and then said: "Back when Dong Zhuo was executed, all the generals in Xiliang were leaderless, and people were panic-stricken. The people of Liang had no choice but to put all their eggs in one basket and survive. The scene of nearly [-] troops besieging Chang'an City must be familiar to all of you."

Everyone nodded again and again, and many people showed strong anxiety in their eyes.

Liu Xie asked unhurriedly: "Do Li Jue and Guo Si still have [-] troops?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Dong Cheng felt sorry for it, and said with a smile: "They attack and kill each other, and the blood in Chang'an City is like a river, where there are still 5 people, [-] people will be able to reach the sky."

Liu Xie glanced at Dong Cheng and was very satisfied.After all, relatives are relatives, and they know how to cheer up at the right time.

"Is it necessary for them to put all their eggs in one basket now?"

Han Hong clapped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty is right, there is no need for them to go all out. Last time in Xinfeng, Guo Si saw that the situation was not right, and he had no plans to fight to the death. He jumped on his horse and ran away."

"What about us?" Liu Xie immediately asked back: "Is there a way for us to retreat?"

Han Hong was slightly taken aback, and the expression on his face gradually turned serious. "There are Duan Yan and Zhang Ji in front, Nanshan Mountain on the left, and a big river in the north. There is no way to retreat. If we can't fight and win, we will either die under the horseshoes of Xiliang soldiers, or be fish and turtles. In this case, It's better to fight."

Liu Xie looked at Han Hong and raised his thumb. "I often heard that there are many martyrs in Yanzhao, but I didn't expect Hanoi to have a warrior like Han Jun."

Han Hong's chest stood out even higher.

Dong Cheng saw it in his eyes, thoughtful, and then looked at Liu Xie with a slightly different look.

Yang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly realized, and then said: "Your Majesty's high-level view made the minister suddenly enlightened."

Liu Xie turned to look at Yang Xiu, and said with a smile: "Then tell me, what did you think of?"

"Wei!" Yang Xiu bowed, turned around, and looked at Han Hong and the others with confidence in his eyes.

Chapter 27

Yang Xiu said a lot, but his purpose was the same as what Liu Xie said, but he analyzed it in more detail so that everyone could understand it.

In the final analysis, one sentence: The situation has changed. Li Jue and Guo Si are not only not as strong as before, but also have no determination to fight to the death. As long as they can hold for ten and a half months, they will definitely retreat.

How to establish a solid line of defense has become the key to victory.

This line of defense is not only geographical, but also psychological.

If they don't have the confidence to win, even if they are given a ready-made line of defense, they may not have the confidence to defend it.

What's more, this line of defense still needs them to build.

Knowing that there is no need to fight the Xiliang soldiers in the field, and all they need to do is hold their positions, everyone, including Dong Cheng, has relaxed a lot, and their thoughts have become more vivid.

Liu Xie took advantage of the situation and asked Yang Xiu to take out the map, brainstorm and discuss the plan to build a position.

Although the real position needs to be inspected on the spot, talking about soldiers on paper for a while can not only relieve tension, but also get a general idea.When it comes to the battlefield, not everyone can keep the overall situation in mind, and most people are still limited to what they see in front of them.

These people are not considered elite, but after all, they have been in the army for many years, and their practical experience is by no means comparable to that of Liu Xie and Yang Xiu.They have fought with Xiliang soldiers and fought side by side with Xiliang soldiers. They are also familiar with the combat power and fighting methods of Xiliang soldiers, and they know better how to save their lives.

After the discussion, Dong Cheng not only no longer looked desperate, but even had the illusion that I could do it again.

After all, the captains and Sima were going to visit the frontline generals in person, so the risk factor was higher and they were more rational.After carefully analyzing the situation, they unanimously pointed out a problem: food.

Everyone knew that the emperor escaped from Chang'an all the way without taking a grain of food with him, and he relied on the support along the way. Now he is relying on Duan Yan to help. Once Duan Yan cuts off the supply, they will starve immediately.

So Yang Feng and Yang Ding shouted to attack Duan Yao, but Dong Cheng stayed put.

It's okay to keep shouting, but if you really want to cut yourself off, Dong Cheng is not that stupid.

Liu Xie took advantage of the situation and proposed a plan: Except for the women and children who could serve as assistants, all other family members in the camp were transferred to the imperial camp, and a daily meal supply system was implemented to save food as much as possible for the soldiers and ensure that the soldiers had enough food. Physical combat.

Liu Xie said that he will lead by example and eat one meal a day.

Although few people believed that Liu Xie would really only eat one meal a day, Liu Xie was able to express his position in this way, which still won the support of many people.Dong Cheng took the lead in expressing his willingness to send his wife and daughter to the imperial camp, and go into battle with light clothes to fight to the death with Li Jue and Guo Si.

Others expressed their support for Liu Xie's decision one after another.

-

In the evening, Liu Xie returned to the imperial camp.

Fu Shou greeted him outside the tent, and he couldn't help being startled when he saw Dong Wan, who was talking and laughing with Liu Xie, following closely behind Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Liu Xie said: "The battle is imminent. General Anji and his generals will fight with all their strength. The family members in the camp will be resettled in the imperial camp. Awan will move here for a period of time. The queen can arrange it."

After hearing this, Fu Shou thought for a while, and said, "Then...the concubine should discuss with Mr. Song to see if she can live with Sister Dong."

Dong Wan wrinkled her nose, and just about to speak, Liu Xie waved her hand calmly, signaling her not to speak.Seeing Dong Wan, she closed her mouth, but still turned her head to the side, pretending to enjoy the scenery.

"Not only the family members from Anji General's camp are coming, but there may be other people too. Let's squeeze as much as possible, and set up a small tent next to the imperial tent, so that the nobles of Song Dynasty can also move here."

Fu Shou was caught off guard and panicked.

"The queen's mother is in the world, and these family members have worked hard for the queen." Liu Xie turned to Dong Wan and said, "Awan, you are familiar with those people, and you have to help the queen with the Song nobleman, and find a way to arrange these people so that they can live together. The soldiers have no worries, and they will fight with all their strength."

Dong Wan obediently responded, and saluted Fushou again.

Seeing this, Fu Shou couldn't say much, so he had to agree.She was just about to turn around to make arrangements when Liu Xie stopped her again.

"I have a plan and I want to discuss it with the queen."

Fu Shou was not in a high mood, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has an edict, how dare the concubine refuse to obey it."

"There are some children in the general camp of Anji who have reached the age of enlightenment. I plan to ask Zhi Jinwu to enlighten them. Does the queen think it is feasible? Fu's scriptures have been passed on for 400 years, and it should be more than enough to teach a few Mongolian children. Of course, Zhi Jinwu Just be a teacher in name and be responsible for the management, and the specific teaching work will be undertaken by those Confucian scholars.”

Fu Shou looked up at Liu Xie and nodded. "The courtiers and concubines obey the imperial edict."

Looking at Fushou's back, Dong Wan curled her lips and said in a low voice, "Miser, Your Majesty is not your Majesty alone."

"Awan, don't be rude." Liu Xie glared at Dong Wan and shook his head slightly.

Dong Wan snorted, reluctantly, pouted so hard that he could tie a donkey.

Liu Xie had a headache.

Fushou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Dong Wan is also a troublemaker. Will the days to come be peaceful?

He stood on the edge of the plateau, lost his mind for a while, and suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in the camp under the plateau, and he couldn't help but feel moved, and had an idea.

I don't know if it's a tacit understanding, but Tang Ji raised her head and looked at Yuanding. She saw Liu Xie standing with her hands behind her back, and the sky was full of sunset behind her.

Tang Ji couldn't help but take a second look.

Then, she saw another figure appearing beside the emperor, it was Empress Fushou.

Tang Ji was inexplicably uneasy, she looked away, turned around and got into the tent.

After a while, a court lady came to see her and passed on the queen's decree, asking Mrs. Hongnong Wang to move to the plateau for a temporary stay.Tang Ji asked the whole story, and only then did she know that the war was imminent, and the emperor had an edict to move the family members of Anji General Dong Chengying to the imperial camp.In order to make room for those people, not only her, but also the family members of the ministers and ministers had to move to the plateau.

Tang Ji wanted to wait and move in with others tomorrow, but the maid said that the empress had already arranged the tent, and hoped she could move there as soon as possible, and it would be best to have dinner together.

Tang Ji had no choice but to clean up briefly and followed the maid to the plateau.

When they came to the imperial tent, the maid went in to report first, and Fushou came out and led Tang Ji to the prepared tent.

"Empress, I can't do it, my concubine can't bear it." Tang Ji felt uneasy and hurriedly stopped her.

Fu Shou smiled. "Madam, there is no need to be like this. Unfortunately, Princess Wannian died early, and King Hongnong was murdered by treacherous officials. Madam is the only relative of His Majesty, so she should be different. Dear virtuous, if even Madam can't settle down, how can I be a mother?" Yi Tianxia? Madam, I am young and ignorant, if there is something inappropriate, Madam please correct me."

Tang Ji glanced at Fushou, feeling puzzled.

The previous Fushou was not like this, what happened, what did His Majesty tell her?

Chapter 28

Tang Ji's tent is not far from the imperial tent. It is a fairly spacious tent, enough for Tang Ji and the maids in the palace to live in.

"The plateau is not wide enough, and the supplies are not abundant. I have wronged Madam." Fu Shou smiled slightly, with the reservedness of a queen.

Tang Ji ordered the maid to clean up, and turned her head to signal Fushou to leave the tent to speak.

As soon as they left the tent, the little maid who had been holding back clenched her fists and jumped twice.They have lived in the plateau for so long, and they have been crowded in a dilapidated tent with few decent pieces of furniture.Now moving to the plateau, both the tent and the furniture are far beyond her imagination.

She laid out the mats swiftly and arranged the furnishings in the tent like a new house, trying to put everything in the most suitable position.

Outside the tent, Tang Ji listened to the suppressed cheers of the little maid, bowed her hands together, and said softly, "Thank you, Queen."

Fu Shou showed a slight smile, then put it away again, holding his hands up. "Madam is serious. This is all in the mind of His Majesty and me."

"How is Your Majesty recently?" Tang Ji asked along the way.

"It's pretty good." Fu Shou tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I'm just busy, not only get up early, go to bed late, but also practice martial arts, and perform, and have some free time to study and meet with ministers. At the end of the day, I fell asleep when I was so tired, I didn’t even have a chance to talk to him.”

Fu Shou held Tang Ji's arm affectionately. "Sister-in-law, he listens to you, please help me persuade him. Although Zhongxing is difficult, you should pay attention to your health, right?"

Tang Ji felt uneasy, and wanted to take her arm out of Fushou's arms, but Fushou held her tightly.

"Queen..."

"Sister-in-law, just help me." Fushou begged.

Tang Ji gave Fushou a wry smile. "The concubine is an ominous person, how dare to intervene in the secrets of the palace, especially the matter between His Majesty and the queen? Isn't the queen embarrassing the concubine?"

Fu Shou lowered his head, wanting to cry. "Sister-in-law is in trouble, I can understand. It's just that the sage also said that things should be done in a hurry. Even if sister-in-law doesn't think about me, she should also think about the blood of the late emperor. Your majesty is the last blood of the late emperor. In case... something goes wrong, what should I do? "
