Chapter 217: The Timing of the Attack on Luoyang

Just after the New Year, Liu Yuan's claim to be the emperor was put on the agenda, the Han State has been established for more than three years, although the Han State is only a small country in a corner of the country, but in three years, Liu Yuan trained his troops diligently, actively expanded, and has developed his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to a stronger strength, becoming the strongest opponent to threaten the rule of the Jin Dynasty.

Liu Yuan is old, he was sick a few years ago, although it is not a serious illness, but after the illness is cured, he obviously feels weak and often unable to exert himself, he used to be able to lift Liu Jian and Sima Lin over his shoulders to make the two children laugh, and after the illness is better, he is also more than enough and his strength is insufficient.

Even if Liu Yuan is a hero, he is also afraid of old age and death, especially in the current situation, the Han State has not been established for a long time, and his footsteps have just stood firm, once he is dead, is the new lord capable of carrying forward the Han State, can he go straight to Luoyang and replace the Sima clan? He thought about his sons repeatedly, and always felt that there was still a little bit of it.

The people around them all knew what Liu Yuan was thinking, if the general trend was already like this today, they were not afraid of being too swaggering to provoke the Jin Court to send troops to target them, so after discussing it up and down, it was decided that Liu Yuan would ascend the throne. Soon after the year passed, Liu Yuan fulfilled his first wish and became the emperor of the Han Kingdom, changing the era name to Yongfeng, which was the first year of Yongfeng.

Soon after, Taishi Ling Xuan Yuxiu said to Liu Yuan again, saying: "Your Majesty, although you are like a dragon soaring, like a phoenix soaring, accepting the great responsibility, however, the rest of the Jin Dynasty has not been eliminated, the royal family is narrow, and the changes in the constellation of the Purple Palace also point to the Jin Dynasty, and within three years, you will definitely be able to conquer Luoyang." Puzi area is rugged and narrow, can not live for a long time, Pingyang has the air of the Son of Heaven, and is the old capital of Tao Tang, I hope that Your Majesty you will go up to the change of the sky, under the auspiciousness of geography, move the capital to Pingyang. ”

Liu Yuan thought deeply about this statement. After moving the capital to Pingyang, Liu Yuan's sons finally divided their respective mansions and had their own mansions.

Everything is moving in a good direction, but Liu Yao can't wait. Luoyang's spies came to report that Sima Qin was captured, but he didn't say a word about the whereabouts of the rest of the Yang family, but just this one piece of information made Liu Yao worried, Sima Qin was with the Yang family, he was arrested, so where are the rest? After Yang Xianrong knew about this, what kind of sorrow and anxiety should he have in his heart? Liu Yao was anxious, and he hated to enter Kim Yong City again and accompany Yang Xianrong for some more time.

However, he knows very well that he can no longer be so reckless, Jin Ting is now eyeing the Han Kingdom, and his father has just ascended the throne, there are a lot of things waiting for him to do, he can't delay the major national affairs for his own little selfishness, besides, this national affairs is also closely related to his and Yang Xianrong's future life. He can only hope that sooner, faster, he can lead his troops to attack Luoyang and rescue Yang Xianrong from fire and water.

The only one who knows Liu Yao's thoughts is only Liu Ling, she has been back to her father for a year, someone blesses her, she doesn't have to live a scared day anymore, her complexion is much better than before, even Sima Lin is much bolder and more lively than before, but this is the world of the Liu family after all, Sima Lin will always be criticized here with the surname of the Jin Dynasty clan, so Liu Ling followed his father's advice and changed his mother's surname to Sima Lin, called Liu Lin, as for how he thinks of his life experience, he will make his own decisions when he grows up.

Liu Lin and Liu Jian are about the same age, the two often play together, after moving the capital to Pingyang, Liu Ling often takes his son to Liu Yao's mansion, the two children play crazy, and the two brothers and sisters can also say some intimate words. These two brothers and sisters are close to each other, and because of the relationship between sheep and appearance, some words are only said to each other. When Liu Ling first came back, she actually couldn't adapt to it, after all, she had been in Sima's house for a long time, and she was no longer used to such a rough style, plus there was always some gossip, which made her very sad, until Liu Yao came back from Luoyang, brother and sister met, everything was not important, Liu Ling also seemed to have a backbone, and all the free and easy in the past came back, and no one dared to despise her half a point again.

Liu Ling thought that he knew this brother too well, and seeing that Liu Yao had become more and more anxious in recent days, Liu Ling said with a smile: "Brother is so anxious to go to Luoyang, I have a way." ”

"What?" Liu Yao hurriedly asked.

"I said, is it good?" Liu Ling deliberately didn't speak, and deliberately teased his brother.

Sure enough, Liu Yao was anxious and said: "As long as I can go to Luoyang, I will promise you whatever you want, I will pick up your good sister, and I will be your sister-in-law in the future, you tease me like this, and there will be a time to settle accounts with you in the future." ”

Liu Ling smiled and just asked, "Brother thinks that if we send troops to Luoyang, what chance do we have?" ”

"Send troops to Luoyang?" Liu Yao was stunned for a moment, and sighed in his heart, if Liu Ling said that he was sending troops, eighty percent could not make the trip, Liu Yuan was cautious, and he was always thoughtful when he planned to fight, although the road to conquest was longer, but it was much more stable, and there were countless big and small battles in three years, but he won more and lost less, ensuring the gradual growth of the Han Kingdom. "Father won't agree."

Liu Ling disagreed with Liu Yao's opinion, "That was before. My father was already impatient when he suddenly called the emperor, but why was this so? He feels that his body is not as good as before this year, so he wants to achieve everything in his heart, in addition to being called the emperor and moving the capital, what he desires most is to be able to enter Luoyang in his lifetime and become the lord of the world. ”

"Having said that, who would dare to persuade?" Liu Yao shook his head and said, "My father is a great achiever, how could he make an irrational decision because of the desire in his heart?" ”

Liu Ling smiled slyly: "Father's worries are just for fear of making a mistake, but if the heavens are reminding him, won't he be tempted?" ”

Liu Yao frowned, looking at Liu Ling's determined look, he knew that this ghost girl had already made up her mind, as for whether the Liu family's army could take Luoyang, Liu Yao didn't dare to be very sure, but he was willing to rush once for the sheep Xianrong, whether it was successful or not depends on the will of God, if it succeeds, the day of his reunion with Yang Xianrong is not far away, even if it fails, he has the courage and ability to do it again.

Liu Ling saw that his brother agreed, and he was no longer dumb, and directly told the ins and outs of the matter, it turned out that a few days ago, taking advantage of the warm spring flowers, Liu Ling took his son to the Fen River to play, Liu Lin had a good time, accidentally almost fell into the river, there was a clever little guard among the people who took him at that time, and he hugged the child and pulled him out, and he himself accidentally fell into the river.

The man grew up on the side of the Fen River, familiar with the water since childhood, after falling into the river also played treasure to tease Liu Lin, seeing the child was really happy, he worked harder and harder, and constantly pricked the fierce son in the river, but in the end it was still spring, the river water was cold, when he was ready to go ashore, his legs suddenly cramped, and the whole person sank into the river, and immediately two people jumped into the river to save him, when struggling, the three people saw that there was a delicate box at the shoal of the bank, and they salvaged it, which was actually a seal, and the book "has a new protection" four big characters.

The seal is carved from the best jade material, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance, Liu Ling ordered someone to keep it secret under his doubts, and quietly inquired about the origin of this chapter, and then finally came to a reliable conclusion: this seal is a jade seal, which was used in the Wang Mang period. She had planned to dedicate the jade seal to her father, but now she had a better way to help her brother.

She ordered someone to add the words "Yuan Haiguang" on the jade seal, and then asked Liu Yao to find someone to present the chapter to Liu Yuan, and sure enough, Liu Yuan was overjoyed, thinking that it was a good omen for himself, so he granted amnesty to prisoners in the territory, and changed the year name to Herui, and also added the seal of nephews and courtiers to show his attention to this matter.

In addition, Liu Yao also found Liu Cong, and said that he wanted to take Luoyang, his fourth brother was brave and good at fighting, resourceful, and made great contributions to Liu Yuan, and entering Luoyang can be said to be something he dreamed of, he is not as conservative as Liu Yuan, he stands in front of the map every day to plan, and he does think that it is time to enter Luoyang, so when he heard Liu Yao's invitation, he immediately agreed, and praised this younger brother for his ambitions, which made Liu Yao very embarrassed, after all, his ambitions are mixed with a lot of things.

Liu Yao saw that the time was ripe, so he played: "Now Your Majesty is invincible, and even the heavens have sent auspicious rui, indicating that Your Majesty will be able to conquer Luoyang and dominate the world." The son of the son hereby asked to lead the army to Luoyang, and made a wish for his father. ”

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, he was thinking about conquering Luoyang every day, but he didn't expect Liu Yao to bring up this matter so soon. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's not easy for my son to have this ambition, but it's too fast. ”

"The sky is auspicious, that is, God hopes that my father can enter Luoyang, I'm afraid this is the best time, if you miss it, I don't know how many years you have to wait." Liu Yao knelt down in front of Liu Yuan uprightly and said, "I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Liu Yuan looked at Liu Yao, and then turned his inquiring eyes to Liu He and Liu Cong, Liu He has always been not on good terms with Liu Yao, but whenever he proposed, there was no one who did not object, but before the words of opposition were spoken, he saw Liu Cong kneeling in front of Liu Yuan, and said loudly: "Erchen is willing to be the vanguard and seize Luoyang for his father." ”

Liu Yao also knelt down and said, "Erchen is willing to be the deputy general and help the fourth brother." ”

Liu Yuan was moved, he glanced at Liu He, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Liu He frowned, he knew his father too well, Liu Yuan was not asking his opinion, but asking him to agree to the matter, his father was already tempted, and he was even a little anxious about the capture of Luoyang. Liu He had no choice but to echo and said: "As the eldest brother, Erchen should be an example for his younger brothers, and when he goes to Luoyang, Erchen is willing to lead the troops and serve His Majesty." ”

Liu Yuan laughed out loud with satisfaction, he pulled up his three sons, and said, "They are all good sons of mine." After that, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "That being the case, I ordered that Liu Cong be the general of Dingyong and Liu Yao be the deputy general, and he will not start his troops and attack Luoyang." ”
