Guo Jia's strategy was exactly the same as the one he used last time to trick Ma Teng.

However, this time it is obviously more difficult. That time the plan only lasted for a day or two, so it was very easy to keep it secret.

But this time it was different. If he announced the news of the emperor's return to Luoyang to the world, the news would have to be blocked for Liu Xie's safety before he returned to Luoyang.

This project is not small, and more importantly, there is a key point. Liu Xie is the emperor and the nominal master of the Han Dynasty. If he does not handle it properly, rumors are likely to spread.

Liu Yu knew the horror of rumors, just like Cao Mengde in later generations. No one remembered that he had spent half his life in military service, fighting wars everywhere, and maintaining the last glimmer of light in the Han Dynasty.

People will only remember that he was called Han Xiang, but was actually a Han traitor.

Remember he would rather I let the world down than let the world let me down.

Theoretically, Liu Yu could ignore the rumors, but too many rumors would not only give his opponents something to talk about, but would also affect his plans to recruit talented people.

In Liu Yu's plan, this time point is very long, and the shortest time will be one year later. If he wants to keep it secret within one year, it will undoubtedly be a huge and continuous project.

"This is a good plan, Fengxiao. As for whether it can be implemented, I would like to go to the palace to discuss it with His Majesty."

After saying this, Liu Yu took Chen Dao and walked towards the palace.

When Liu Yu met Liu Xie in the palace, he briefly explained his purpose.

When he heard that Liu Yu was returning to Luoyang, his eyes were full of anticipation.

When they met before, he had told Liu Yu about his desire to return to Luoyang.

According to the original plan, the return to Luoyang was to be carried out a month ago, but the news that Ma Teng and Han Sui were reorganizing their troops disrupted this plan.

Now this matter is back on the agenda, and with the development of the situation, many changes have also occurred, such as Lu Bu's movements.

"Luoyang was the capital of the Han Dynasty for 200 years. It was only because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion that we had to move to Chang'an. Last time, I told my uncle where the tombs of my ancestors were. I want to go back all the time."

Liu Xie's tone was firm. In order to return to Luoyang, he could stay in Chang'an and not leak any information.

"So whether it takes one year or two years, I can wait. The princes and ministers, just let them go with you. I only ask you to finish repairing Luoyang as soon as possible so that you can take me back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely take Your Majesty back to Luoyang in a year at most."

"I know that my uncle will not lie to me. Just go to Luoyang. The generals are guarding Chang'an. You don't have to worry about my safety."

Liu Xie's eyes were full of determination, which made Liu Yu feel heartbroken. He inherited the throne of the emperor at a young age. It seemed like a supreme position, but he had to bear pressure that was not suitable for his age.

There is no way, maybe this is the fate of being born into a royal family.

God is fair. If you want to enjoy supreme power, you must bear the weight of the country.

In a sense, this is fair.

"Your Majesty, let Shuzhi stay in Chang'an to protect Your Majesty. He has an army under his command, which I secretly trained in Luoyang."

"The number of these troops originally numbered 500. After the battle with Li Ru's army, there were only 100 left. After this period of reinforcement, the number has now increased to 300."

"Although these three hundred men are not numerous, they are all brave warriors who are worth ten to one. With them by your side, even if there are thousands of troops, they can guarantee your safety."

"Uncle, there is no need to do this. If you bring my message back to Luoyang, Luoyang will become a place of war. If someone attacks, Luoyang will inevitably be caught in a tough battle. It is safer for you to keep General Chen by your side."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. After all, there is a large army in Luoyang. It is not easy to take my life. Besides, your Majesty's safety is far more important than mine. If there is no foolproof plan, I will be distracted, which will be detrimental to my plan in Luoyang."

Liu Xie thought for a long time and felt that what Liu Yu said made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

"In that case, I will listen to my uncle."

Liu Yu glanced at Chen Dao behind him and said slowly: "Shu Zhi, from today on, you must personally protect His Majesty. No matter what the cost, His Majesty must not be harmed in the slightest. If you dare to disobey my order, you will be punished by military law."

Since Chen Dao followed Liu Yu, he knew that he was modest and easy-going. He had never seen Liu Yu so serious. He hurried forward to salute.

"only!"

Liu Yu knew that he was cautious by nature. Although his answer was simple and he did not make any promises, Liu Yu knew that he would do his best to fulfill such a simple word. Even if he lost his life, he would ensure Liu Xie's safety.

After arranging all this, Liu Yu started chatting with Liu Xie again.

The two chatted for a long time, and Liu Xie unconsciously changed the topic.

"Now that my uncle has left, I don't know when I can see him again. After he arrives in Luoyang, please send me letters from time to time to ease my longing for him."

"I have taken note of your Majesty's words."

"I am very depressed in this palace. Don't forget what your uncle promised Your Majesty."

Hearing Liu Xie say this, Liu Yu remembered that day when he wanted to find someone of the same age to accompany him in studying.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Once the matter in Luoyang is resolved, I will go to Jingzhou in person and invite him to Your Majesty."

Liu Yu's words were loud and clear, and it might not be possible to invite him over. Even Liu Yu was not confident.

In his memory, Liu Bei also visited him three times before he could see him.

Liu Xie's eyes flashed with a faint smile. From the moment Liu Yu finished speaking, a doubt quietly crept into Liu Xie's mind. He couldn't help but start to imagine what that person of the same age as him looked like.

This thought was like a naughty butterfly, dancing in Liu Xie's mind and could not be shaken off.

At this moment, he wished he could meet this mysterious peer immediately and witness his charm with his own eyes.

Perhaps, only when the two meet face to face, all the mysteries can be solved...

Anyway, the emperor's uncle praised him highly and called him a unique person throughout the ages!

You know, even with the emperor's uncle's astonishing talent, he would be slightly inferior to this person!

When Liu Yu was about to step out of the palace, as per convention, he played several games of Go with Liu Xie.

Although Liu Xie's chess skills had not yet reached the level of defeating Liu Yu at this moment, they had improved significantly compared to the past.

Liu Yu has always had full faith in Liu Xie's intelligence and talent. If he had not been born in such a chaotic era, with his natural intelligence and talent, he would have surely become a wise ruler and left a good reputation for generations to come!
