"But Artest alone is not enough." Liu Xie picked up Xun Wenqian and put it on his chest. "Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers. You have to work harder, and add a few more siblings for Artest."

Xun Wenqian blushed, but did not back down, and said in a low voice, "I dare not follow the imperial edict."

-

Giving up the psychological burden of quick success, and with the belief that success doesn't have to be in me, Liu Xie's whole life has become much easier.

Lingering with Xun Wenqian, embraced and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he was full of energy and got up on time, ready to practice martial arts.

Wang Yue, Cao Ang and others were already waiting outside, talking softly.Cao Ang looked sad and shook his head from time to time.

Liu Xie saw it, but didn't say anything. He looked around and said, "Where is Kong Ming?"

Wang Yue was a little surprised, and stepped forward to salute. "Your Majesty, Kong Ming is an attendant, so he doesn't need to participate in morning exercises. Besides, he sorted out the documents last night and slept very late. I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet."

"Go and wake him up." Liu Xie's voice was not high, but there was no doubt about it. "From now on, take part in morning exercises."

"Wei." Although Wang Yue didn't understand, he still asked someone to call Zhuge Liang.

The waiter does not have to participate in the morning exercise, but he did not say that he cannot participate in the morning exercise.Since the emperor has an edict, obey it.

When Yang Xiu was serving as a servant before, he participated in morning exercises many times, and he asked for it on his own initiative.

The emperor specially asked Zhuge Liang to participate in morning exercises, which shows that he looks at this newcomer Zhuge Liang differently.

Liu Xie first did some warm-up exercises, stretched his muscles and bones, and then started his daily morning exercises.Halfway through the journey, Zhuge Liang hurried over, looking a little tired, with dark circles around his eyes.

He rushed to Liu Xie and bowed his hands to salute.

"When did you sleep yesterday?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while. "The first ugly moment."

"In the future, unless you are on night duty, you are not allowed to be later than the end of Haishi. Get up in the early morning and participate in morning exercises."

Zhuge Liang was stunned, and looked at Liu Xie puzzled.He could understand that Liu Xie asked him to participate in morning exercises, but he didn't understand why Liu Xie didn't let him sleep too late.After all, for his age, a night without sleep is enough.

Liu Xie waved his hand without explaining. "Go to practice Wu Qin Xi twice, exercise your body, and then take part in morning exercises."

Although Zhuge Liang was puzzled, he still surrendered.

"Wei." He thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I just received the news last night that Chen Deng was defeated by Zhang Ying and Gao Lan, and the whole army was wiped out. Except for Chen Deng himself who was captured, no one survived. Tanxian, Xia Pi has fallen, and Pengcheng has become an isolated city."

Chapter 600

Liu Xie froze for a moment, then regained his composure, and motioned Zhuge Liang to move his body.

Although it was unexpected that Zhang He and Gao Lan attacked so hard, he was reminded by Liu Ye and Xun Wenqian successively that he was prepared for the Jizhou people's mentality of rejecting others, and he didn't think it was unreasonable.

Tanxian County and Xiapi fell, and Pengcheng became an isolated city, which is also expected.

Liu Ye said before that although Liu Bei is brave and good at fighting, he is not good at strategy and has no qualified advisers around him. In terms of the way of using troops, he is obviously not the opponent of Yuan Shao who has senior staff such as Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

His beloved Zhuge Liang was right in front of him, and he was still an ignorant young man.

Next, it depends on whether Liu Bei abandons the city and leaves, or sticks to the lonely city for the promise of restoring his clan status.

But that is Liu Bei's personal problem.

He didn't care what the result was, and he wasn't interested in reading the official document right away.

Pengcheng is four thousand miles away, and the news lags behind for nearly half a month. It is not known whether Pengcheng is still in Liu Bei's hands, and it is useless to worry.

Zhuge Liang was asked to move his body and run with the cavalry servants. Liu Xie practiced riding and shooting with swords and spears according to the predetermined plan, meticulously, as if nothing happened.

Even the accuracy of shooting has improved, and I hit an extra arrow or two.

After morning exercises and breakfast, Liu Xie came to the main account to check the official documents just received at night.

Pei Jun, who was on duty, handed over the official documents he had prepared. The top one was the Pengcheng Battle Report, which was written urgently in Zhuge Liang's handwriting. The second copy was sent by Situ Zhao Wen, and it was also marked urgent.

Liu Xie picked up Zhao Wen's official document and read the summary first.

Zhao Wen asked Cheng Yi, the former chief minister of farming, to be transferred to Guanzhong to take charge of farming.Most of the fields in Guanzhong have been completed, but the grain output has not increased significantly, but has declined.The reason is that after Cheng Yi was dismissed, the Tianzheng presided over by him was also absurd, and the yield per mu dropped significantly, and some even left half of it. Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi who was stationed in Guanzhong and prepared for the east, was very dissatisfied.

Liu Xie thought for a while before thinking of Cheng Yi.

"Where is Cheng Yi now?"

"I've arrived, and I'm farming in Guzang," Pei Jun said.

"Didn't you say that you will come to see me before you take office?"

"Your Majesty was rushing to the West Sea at that time. Cheng Yi said he didn't want to waste time, delay farming, and affect this year's harvest, so he went directly to take office."

"This..." Liu Xie was speechless.

There is such a person?In order to collect a few more shi of grain a year, he even gave up the opportunity to meet the driver.

How many times can you have a chance to meet with a guzangling?

"Is there any official document from Guzang that mentions him?"

"No." Pei Jun shook his head confidently. "I just checked the official documents of the past few months, but I didn't see any relevant content about him. Maybe it's because the time in office is too short, and there is no political achievement to speak of."

Liu Xie glanced at Pei Jun and chuckled.

Pei Jun is very smart, but he is too young.

Although Cheng Yi is only the order of Guzang, it is the order of Guzang that Jia Xu asked for by name. There was such a big disturbance in Guanzhong before, how could there be no waves in Guzang?

With his attitude that he can save even seeing a car for the sake of farming, it's no wonder that things are calm in Guzang.

"Go and ask Jia Shizhong to come."

Pei Jun also knew that his answer had disappointed the emperor, so he blushed and hurried out of the account.

Liu Xie read the original text of Zhao Wen's official document. From the lines, he could imagine how helpless Zhao Wen was and how angry Han Sui was.

Guanzhong has been fairly stable in the past two years, with a gradual increase in population and a steady increase in food production.In addition to normal expenses every year, some food can be saved.But these grains were transferred by Xun Yu and sent to Youyan Dufu, which had not yet been formally established. Even the two captains, Xia Yu and Xie Guang, led troops to escort the grain and grass but failed to return.

This was clearly aimed at Han Sui. Even though they were both from Xiliang, Xia Yu and Xie Guang did not want to listen to Han Sui's orders.

If it's just to escort food and grass, why both captains go together.

For Han Sui, who was ambitious and wanted to go east and make contributions, this was not only a hindrance, but also a humiliation.

Zhao Wen, who stayed in Guanzhong, became his punching bag.

After reading Zhao Wen's official documents, Liu Xie fetched the catalog of official documents, wanting to see if there were any official documents of Han Sui in it.It stands to reason that Han Sui would not be unresponsive to such a big conflict, and should also file a letter of impeachment.

But he couldn't find it.

This can't help but surprise Liu Xie. When did Han Sui become so calm and let Zhao Wen write a letter without even arguing?

Putting down Zhao Wen's official document, Liu Xie picked up Pengcheng's battle report.After reading the original text, he discovered a detail that was not mentioned in the brief. Among the people who called on the Xuzhou clan to support Liu Bei was a name that had not been mentioned before: Wang Lang.

Not only did Wang Lang play an important role in the public opinion war in defending Pengcheng, but he also disappeared after the fall of Tan County and his whereabouts are unknown.But what is certain is that Wang Lang did not join Yuan Shao's camp.

Considering that Chen Deng's subordinates were severely injured by Zhang He and Gao Lan, Wang Lang's refusal to join Yuan Shao's camp seemed extremely meaningful.

Even if the Xuzhou people bowed their heads to Yuan Shao, it was a temporary helpless plan, and they would never willingly work for Yuan Shao.The analysis of Liu Ye and Xun Wenqian has become a reality. The greater Yuan Shao's victory, the greater the internal hidden dangers.

It can be deduced that the memorials demanding the imperial court to send troops to the east will soon come like snowflakes.

When Liu Xie put down the report, Jia Xu walked in.His face was rosy, and his forehead was slightly sweaty, as if he had just finished exercising or had breakfast.Unlike others, Jia Xu pays great attention to health preservation, and must drink a bowl of hot porridge every morning.

"Didn't you bother Mr. to rest?" Liu Xie smiled.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "How dare you. Your Majesty will not summon your ministers, and I would like to see your Majesty these two days."

"Is something wrong?"

"The dog has been trained in the Huben Camp for half a year, and I would like to ask His Majesty to arrange for them to be transferred to the Yulin Camp."

Liu Xie was stunned, and then a little surprised.

After Jia Xu's sons, Jia Mu and Jia Wang, arrived, they were thrown directly into the Huben camp by Jia Xu, and they changed their names to practice as ordinary Huben men.Now Jia Xu wants to transfer them to Yulinying, what is he trying to do?

Liu Xie didn't ask much, nodded in agreement, and then asked about Cheng Yi.

He didn't want to ask how Jia Xu tormented his own son.

Anyway, with Jia Xu's character, he can't do that kind of disgusting thing.

Jia Xu said indifferently: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is the minister's arrangement. Within four years, let Cheng Yi do whatever he wants. No one is allowed to say that he is wrong, and no one is allowed to say that he is right."

"Why?"

"Small people have no long-term considerations. They are easily lured by immediate benefits and even more easily angered by immediate harm. If you listen to them, Cheng Yi will inevitably be eager for success and profit, and have no time for long-term plans. The minister and Cheng Yi agreed on a four-year period. After four years, let’s talk about success or failure.”

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly, and then lowered them again.

"In that case, Mr. Yi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Liu Xie said again: "Have you been in touch with Han Sui recently?"

Chapter 601 Action in advance

"No." Jia Xu shook his head. "Han Wenyue is not Ma Shoucheng, we are more competitive than close, and we don't have much personal contact."

Liu Xie was so surprised that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Han Sui competes with Jia Xu?He always thought that Han Sui, like Ma Teng, would stand closely together for profit even if he didn't obey Jia Xu's words.

"What happened to Han Wenyue?" Jia Xu asked proactively.

He knew that the emperor suddenly summoned him and asked if there was any connection between him and Han Sui. There must be a problem in Guanzhong.

"There is nothing wrong with him, and the problem is that there is nothing wrong with him." Liu Xie came back to his senses and told the relevant news again.

Jia Xu laughed dumbfounded, stroked his beard, and nodded. "Your Majesty, this is Han Wenyue."

"How to say?"

"If you are over half a hundred years old, you will not die. He is nearly half a hundred years old, and he is officially a general in Zhenxi. Get rid of, one is to defeat Yuan Shao, the shame of Xue in the past. These two wishes are attributed to one thing, to lead the troops out and win the battle. As long as this wish can be fulfilled, even if he is wronged, he can bear it."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing out loud.

He understood what Jia Xu meant.It's not that Han Sui lost his temper, but he didn't want to lose the opportunity to lead his troops east because of losing his temper.So he would argue with Zhao Wen and others, but he would not go to the imperial court to argue.

Anyway, Han Sui also knew that he had a bad impression of Zhao Wen and others, and he would not alienate Liangzhou people because of Zhao Wen's impeachment, and make Han Sui feel wronged.

Instead of refuting, it seems that Han Sui has a stomach and a ministerial demeanor.

This kind of thing, warriors like Ma Teng need Jia Xu's reminder, and celebrities like Han Sui are very good at it, so they don't need Jia Xu's reminder at all.

"It's probably inappropriate for Xia Yu and Xie Guang to oppose General Zhenxi so directly."

Jia Xu nodded. "I'm afraid Zhao Zirou (Zhao Wen)'s idea was involved in this, and Han Wenyue took the opportunity to make trouble. But for Han Wenyue, it is not a bad thing. Even if Xia Yu and Xie Guang stay, he will find it hard to trust It would be safer for them to be sent to northern Xinjiang."

Liu Xie was a little worried. "Even if Xia Yu and Xie Guang are sent away, and they go east in the future, can the former general (Duan Yan) and the rear general follow his command, and the hussar general (Zhang Ji), will the generals be at odds? ?”

"General Hussars is in Nanyang, so naturally he wants to take the lead." Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "The former general was appointed by the Shangdang, so he can be his own. The latter general can't do it alone, so there shouldn't be any problem. Of course, it's better to have questions."

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu puzzled.

Jia Xu said: "My minister thinks that it is enough for Han Wenyue to command 5 soldiers as a forward general, and it is better for His Majesty to be the commander of the three armies. It is beyond Han Wenyue's ability to command [-] troops to fight."

Liu Xie took out the Pengcheng battle report and handed it to Jia Xu.

Prior to this, he had no plan to go east in the near future. Letting Han Sui station in Kanto was to prepare for war, rather it was to transfer Han Sui away from Jincheng so that he could directly control Liangzhou.But now his thinking has changed, and the timing of going east may be greatly advanced.

At least Han Sui can be allowed to take a step ahead and show the court's attitude to the world.

After reading several military newspapers, Jia Xu took out the map and pondered for a while.

"Your Majesty, I think that Your Majesty should set off immediately, station in Guanzhong, and send an order to Taiyuan, Shangdang, Yingchuan, and Nanyang to prepare for battle. If Pengcheng is not lost within three months, Your Majesty will personally lead the generals to attack Yuan Shao , to pacify the Central Plains."

"Can Liu Xuande guard for three months?"

"The imperial court has a system. If reinforcements do not arrive, those who surrender will be innocent. Given the strength of Pengcheng, as long as Liu Xuande has the heart to persevere, it should not be difficult to persist for three months. If he sticks to the isolated city, but the imperial court does not arrive with reinforcements, Even if he surrendered, he is worthy of the imperial court, but the imperial court failed him."

Liu Xie was surprised. "Is there such a system?"

"Yes, but I haven't mentioned it for a long time." Jia Xu said, "Three months later, someone will use this argument to persuade Liu Xuande to surrender."

Liu Xie fell into deep thought.

Jia Xu would not lie to him, because he was determined to forge ahead, and there were not many veterans around him, and he was not familiar with the old rules and regulations, so he forgot that there was such a rule.
