Han Dao world

"Yes." Zhong Yao hurriedly picked out a document from the case, and handed it over with both hands. "Cao Cao beat Lu Bu away, Yanzhou will be settled, but Yongqiu will not fall."

Liu Xie looked through it briefly, returned it to Zhong Yao, and asked about the situation in Jizhou and Youzhou.

Generally speaking, Kanto is still in a melee. Although Yuan Shao has the upper hand, he is still some distance away from dominating Hebei.

The big man can still save it.

"I heard that you are very close to Xun You?"

Zhong Yao froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "As Your Majesty said, I and Xun You are both from the same village and share the same interests. They have always been very close."

"Where is he?"

"He went to serve as the prefect of Shu County. Due to the impassable road, he is currently stationed in Jingzhou."

"You draw up an imperial edict on my behalf, calling him to go there urgently." Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "It's the time for talented people to use their weapons in troubled times. How can you stay in Bashu and watch from the sidelines?"

Zhong Yao smiled agreeably.

Liu Xie glanced at him, and said, "Yuan Chang, and you too."

Zhong Yao was taken aback, subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Liu Xie, then realized something was wrong, quickly lowered his head, and accepted the order.

"only."

Liu Xie asked a few more words, turned around and returned the account.

Zhong Yao sent it out of the tent, looking at Liu Xie's back, thoughtful.

-

Liu Xie returned to the tent, looked at the documents for a while, waited for Zhong Yao to send the drafted edict, and after signing it, he ordered Zhong Yao to find a map of Huayin County for future use.

Zhong Yao agreed, turned around and went out of the tent, walking vigorously.

Liu Xie saw it clearly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Although I dare not say that Xun You will definitely come and Zhong Yao will be loyal, but he can act first.

Old thief Cao Cao, don't blame me for being cruel.

You have a good time, but I have a bad time.

Liu Xie got up and entered the inner tent while thinking.

Sure enough, Fu Shou was still asleep, leaning against the quilt in a daze, awakened by the sound of footsteps, hurriedly got up to meet Liu Xie, inadvertently glanced at Liu Xie, couldn't help being startled, took a step back, put his arms around his shoulders, little The body shrank into a ball.

Liu Xie looked at Fushou puzzled. "What's wrong?"

The corner of Fushou's mouth stared at Liu Xie again and again, and gradually relaxed. "Your Majesty... the expression just now was so scary."

"Really?" Liu Xie touched his face.

Fu Shou didn't dare to say any more, and got up to wait for Liu Xie to undress.Liu Xie got on the couch, hugged the quilt and lay down, lost in thought.Fu Shou also took off his clothes, got into the quilt, and looked at Liu Xie carefully.

"Your Majesty, go to bed." She whispered.

"Well, good." Liu Xie responded, but his body didn't move.

Fu Shou waited for a while, and couldn't help but remind him again.Only then did Liu Xie come to his senses, looking at Fu Shou's rosy face, he couldn't help but smile.He stretched out his hand to tuck in the quilt, and patted Fushou's shoulder lightly.

"Go to bed first, I still have something to think about."

"Oh." Fu Shou was a little disappointed, sighed faintly, and closed his eyes.After a while, she opened her eyes again. "Why is Your Majesty worried, you might as well talk to your concubine, maybe your concubine can share your worries for Your Majesty."

Liu Xie thought about it. "The empress should know that I lost my mother when I was young, and was brought up by the empress dowager. After the death of my father and the death of the empress dowager, I was rebelled by Dong Zhuo, and my brother unfortunately died. Now I can still be called relatives, except for you few , that is, sister-in-law."

Fu Shou rolled his eyes, retracted into the quilt, and said in a voice like a mosquito gnat: "I understand."

-

Early the next morning, Zhong Yao came to see him with a map of Huayin.

Taking advantage of the gap between martial arts training, Liu Xie checked the map.

With a map in hand, the nearby terrain is much clearer, and it is no longer limited to what you see in front of you.

There are Nanshan Mountains in the south, Weishui River in the north, and Huayin is in a long and narrow river valley running from east to west.The Weishui River and the Nanshan Mountain converge on the east side, and the city built by Duan Yan is just at the frontier, and Tongguan is [-] miles to the east.

In contrast, the west side is open and unobstructed.

Once Li Jue and Guo Si chased after them, except for a few not-so-deep rivers, there was no terrain suitable for defense.

Liu Xie is very bald.

He had previously thought that the enemy coming from the west was the deadliest, but after looking at the map, there was no chance at all.

Yang Ding and Dong Cheng, who were stationed on the west side, could not play a blocking role at all, and it was lucky that they did not defect.

Liu Xie was irritated in his heart, but there was no reaction on his face.He stared at the map for a while, then said to Zhong Yao: "You go to some officials who are familiar with the local situation, and check the terrain within thirty miles from east to west, focusing on which places can be defended, and draw a map."

Zhong Yao was a little surprised. "Your Majesty... intends to guard Huayin?"

Liu Xie didn't answer.

He is still not sure what Zhong Yao thinks in his heart, and he doesn't want to reveal too many plans.

Zhong Yao didn't ask any more questions, but bowed and retreated. He quickly selected a few people and left the camp.

Chapter 11 Shisun Rui

Guard Sun Rui walked out of the tent, raised his head, looked at the billowing smoke and dust on the plateau, and narrowed his eyes.

For several days in a row, the emperor rose at dawn to practice martial arts and perform formations.

The Guanglu Xun Battalion under Yuanxia also started drills. Although it was not organized, it finally took action and was much more active than before.

The guard Han Bin rushed over and explained in a soft voice what he had just found out.

After seeing the emperor returning from Zhijinwu's camp that day, he rushed to the camps to find out the situation, in case Sun Rui could inquire.

Shi Sunrui glanced at Han Bin, felt Han Bin's strange emotion, and couldn't help smiling.

"Although His Majesty is young, he has the unyielding ambition and the heart to use martial arts. This is the fortune of the great man."

"What Wei Wei said is true." Han Bin said, but his eyes were on the big banner of the Son of Heaven and the smoke and dust on the top of the loess plateau in the distance.

Shi Sunrui thought for a while, and said: "The order will be passed on, ordering the Sima of the sects to discuss matters and discuss daily drills. Your Majesty will personally perform military exercises, and we, as courtiers, must not slack off."

"Here." Han Bin responded, turned around and left.

Shi Sun Rui raised his head, looked at it for a moment, and called an attendant. "Go and see if the Taiwei is busy, I want to visit him later."

The attendant shook his head. "The Taiwei left the camp three days ago and has not yet returned to the camp."

Sun Rui was surprised. "Where did he go?"

"I don't know, I only know that I went east."

Shi Sunrui frowned even tighter.

The situation is urgent, and the aftermath of the abnormal celestial phenomenon is still unabated. How could Taiwei Yang Biao suddenly leave the camp without even giving him any news?

The servant thought for a while, and said one more thing.

Before Yang Biao left the camp, he had met the emperor.Before Yang Biao met the Son of Heaven, General Xingyi Yang Feng also came, and when he left, he saluted the Son of Heaven with a respectful demeanor, not as frivolous and domineering as before.

Shi Sunrui was even more curious, staring at the smoke and dust on the plateau, without saying a word.

Could it be that the vision in the previous few nights was not a bad omen, but a good omen?

The fate of the great man is still alive, and there is still hope for ZTE?

He pondered for a moment, asked his attendants to stay, told the coming Sima to wait, and walked to Guang Luxun's camp by himself.

The two camps were very close, and he quickly found Guang Luxun and Deng Quan.

Deng Quan was arranging drills for his subordinates. When he saw Sun Rui coming in, he smiled bitterly and said, "Jun Rong, I guess you should come too."

Mr. Sun Rui is also welcome.Both Jiuqing and colleagues for many years, he and Deng Quan are old friends.

"Boyuan, what's going on, Huben and Yulin have started practicing?"

Deng Quan shook his head, told what happened, and finally reminded Sun Rui to be prepared.The emperor was able to select the elite from his and Fu Wan's battalion, so naturally he would not miss the guards under Shi Sun Rui's command.

Sun Rui nodded.Deng Quan didn't need to remind him of this, he knew it too.

"Boyuan, I heard that General Xingyi Yang Fenglai met His Majesty a few days ago?"

Deng Quan frowned, stroked his beard, and nodded vigorously. "Jun Rong, there is a saying that I have kept in my heart for a long time."

"What?"

"Your Majesty...it seems like a different person."

"Shut up!" Shi Sunrui lowered his face and looked around vigilantly. "Boyuan, should you say such absurd words?"

Deng Quan sighed. "Jun Rong, I also studied since I was a child, and I have been in office for a long time, so I don't know the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers? It's just...it's just that Your Majesty gives me a strange feeling. How should I put it, the person is still the same person, but the momentum is completely different."

Shi Sunrui also frowned. "What's the difference?"

"I can't say it." Deng Quan said: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. You'd better go to see the emperor and see it with your own eyes, and you will know that what I say is true. Jun Rong, to be honest, I don't know if this is a good thing or not." Bad thing, I haven't slept well these days."

Shi Sunrui glanced at Deng Quan's tired face, knowing that what he said was true, after a little thought, he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Deng Quan is right, the most direct way is to visit the emperor and see the changes in the emperor himself.

When he came to the plateau, Shi Sunrui asked Zhong Yao, the servant of Huangmen, to go up to the plateau to inform him, and he waited under the plateau.Before Zhong Yao came back, a carriage drove up from a distance and stopped under the plateau.

Shi Sun Rui saw it clearly and was very surprised.

He recognized the person in the car, it was Yang Xiu, the son of Taiwei Yang Biao.

The carriage stopped under the plateau and turned around.

A waiter got out of the car, put down a stool behind the car, then stepped forward and opened the door.

Yang Xiu got out of the car, stood up straight, first raised his hand to support the crown, then adjusted the long sword on his waist, then put his hands on his hips, looked around, and looked forward to Zixiong.The chin is slightly lifted, revealing the confidence of who else can I.

Seeing Shi Sun Rui, Yang Xiu froze for a moment, then smiled and walked over slowly.

"Shisun Jun." The young man arched his hands and made a big salute.

Master Sun Rui held his beard and jaw. "Dezu, are you here to see the Taiwei?"

Yang Xiu shook his head. "No. Your Majesty visited Huayin, and I was ordered by my mother to come to pay my respects."

Shi Sun Rui nodded thoughtfully, glanced at the carriage in the distance, smiled and said nothing.

If he didn't know that Yang Biao had met the emperor a few days ago and left the camp eastward, he might have believed Yang Xiu's words.The carriage didn't leave, which meant that Yang Xiu came to see the emperor just to deal with it, and didn't intend to stay.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

When the big man has come to this point, everyone knows that the destiny is coming to an end. Their generation eats the king's salary and should be loyal to the country, but the next generation has no such obligation.

If not, why did Yang Xiu not become an official until today?

The son of Taiwei should have promoted Xiaolian, Maocai, and became an official as a man long ago.

But Shi Sunrui didn't tell the truth. After all, his son Shi Sun Meng didn't become an official either, and was taking refuge in Jingzhou.

Yang Xiu smiled. "When all the eunuchs are gone, the atmosphere of the court has been renewed. It's gratifying to congratulate. It's a pity that Wang Situ's famous scholars are too habitual, and he overcorrected. Instead, he ruined a good game of chess."

The scholar Sun Rui glanced at Yang Xiu. "Wang Situ has devoted his allegiance to the country, and he has no regrets in his heart. State affairs are waiting for those who come. Dezu is a young man, work hard."

Yang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he laughed.He shook his head. "Mr. Shisun, Xiu is ashamed and dare not take it. Your Majesty is young and promising, and the public officials are all outstanding men in the world. Why should we and other youngsters speak nonsense. Xiu is also dull, not familiar with the scriptures, and has a rough grasp of writing. I heard that your son is good at composition, and I have admired him for a long time. I don't know if I'm in the camp, so I can ask for help in person?"

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, then shook their heads in unison and sighed.

If it wasn't forced by the situation, who would be willing to do this? Wouldn't it be good to become an official smoothly?

It's a pity that manpower is hard to recover.

After a while, Zhong Yao came down and told Sun Rui that the emperor invited him to the plateau.

The scholar Sun Rui nodded to Yang Xiu and stepped up to the plateau.Zhong Yao didn't know Yang Xiu, but seeing him standing side by side with Shi Sun Rui, talking and laughing happily, and seeing the wide and sturdy carriage in the distance, he knew that he was not an ordinary scholar, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he went up to ask.

The two exchanged names, and when they learned that Yang Xiu was the son of Yang Biao, Zhong Yao felt close and became more enthusiastic.

Yang Xiu was not in the mood to talk to a servant of the Huangmen, looking at the smoke and dust on the plateau, he frowned slightly.

Zhong Yao had a bad nose and was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything, and quietly stepped aside.
