Sikong guǎng én sat in a carriage, escorted by more than 20 escorts, they took the road west from Jizhou to Luanzhou, this road was controlled by Liu De and the imperial court, so although the southern part of Jizhou was in full swing, it was still safe for Guǎng én.

Guǎng én sighed in the carriage, worried about the future of the Great Zhou, now the local power is rising, and the imperial court is a big defeat, which makes the guǎng én, who is loyal to the Great Zhou, very melancholy, but unfortunately, Guǎng én has the name of the Three Princes, but he can only fight the mouth cannon, cursing the pseudo-emperor and Liu De, but it is useless.

"Boom!"

Guǎng én felt the body vibrate, and then lifted the curtain and asked, "What is this sound?" ”

"Guanggong, this seems to be the vibrating sound of a war horse running... And it should be a brigade of cavalry! "This guard has obviously been on the battlefield and has some knowledge.

guǎng én said disapprovingly: "That should be the soldiers and horses of the imperial court!" "I'm going to retract back into the car!

The guard's voice trembled, and he shouted at Guǎng Én: "Guanggong! Our court doesn't have the money to buy so many war horses! ”

"What?"

guǎng én paused and raised his head, "What do you mean?" ”

"Whew!"

Before the guard could reply, a sharp arrow hit the guard's back, and the powerful impact force lifted the guard off his horse.

The blood sprayed by the guards drenched Guǎng én's face, and even a chicken was completely stupid for Guang Sikong, who had been killed.

A cavalry army of 1,000 people quickly came to the side of the horse carriage, and the two dozen or so guards of the guǎng én were also quickly killed, and a general in heavy armor came to the carriage and patted the face of the somewhat stupid guǎng én.

"Wake up, Sikong-sama!"

Guǎng Én's dull eyes gradually became a little clearer, and when he turned his head to look at the general, Guǎng Én could clearly feel that the sound of his spine in his neck was a little crisp.

"You... Are you Liu De's person? ”

"Nope! Wrong! ”

Guǎng Én came to his senses completely, and his voice instantly raised: "You guys! You are Yang Tianlong's people!! ”

The general suddenly laughed: "It seems that our Sikong Lord is not stupid!" ”

"Let's go! Sikong-sama! ”

As soon as the general pulled Guǎng Én out of the carriage, how could a weak little old man be the opponent of a strong general, and he could not tolerate Guǎng Én's resistance, so he was thrown on the horseback by the general.

It's like a folk girl who was robbed by horse bandits...

"Where are you gangs of scoundrels taking the old man?"

guǎng én howled.

"Of course, I will continue to let your old man serve as the third prince, but it is just a change of emperor!"

“…”

……

"My lord! There is an anomaly in the enemy army on the opposite side! ”

The spies came out of nowhere to report.

"What's the change?"

Liu De put down the book in his hand and asked.

The spy was also a little puzzled, but he still told the truth: "Lord, it seems that the enemy army is retreating?" ”

"Retreat?"

Liu De got up suddenly, supported the desk with his arms, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Dare to deceive the lord in this matter!"

"I'm going to investigate! If there is any other movement of the enemy, report it quickly! Order the posts along the river to be on high alert in case the enemy crosses the river from elsewhere! Dian Wei, convene the generals to discuss! ”

Liu De issued orders one after another, and the orders were carried out in an orderly manner.

When the generals got the news, they also hurried over, "My lord, the enemy has withdrawn!" Xu Shu was also surprised.

"That's right, but I'm afraid that the enemy is deliberately retreating, is it trying to lure us into attack? Or cross the river from somewhere else? Liu De said.

Peng Yue objected: "Now that the Datong River has not been frozen, and there are many outposts set up by us on the bank, how can they cross the river?" ”

"Send someone to find out! Send more people! Qi Jing! You lead a group of your troops and horses to cross the river first, and gain a foothold on the other side, in any case, since the enemy has retreated, let's seize this opportunity first! ”

Liu De ordered directly.

Now that the situation is unclear, it is safest to move forward gradually.

A large number of sentinels were scattered, and in addition to patrolling along the river bank, some of them also crossed the Datong River and probed in the direction of Yang's army.

Because of the sudden retreat of the Yang army, Liu De had the opportunity to scatter the spies, and in the same way, because the Yang army also arranged more defenses on the opposite side, it was almost impossible to cross the Datong River to investigate the enemy.

The spies sent before were either killed by random arrows in the river, or never returned, and Liu De then stopped trying to find out the enemy's intelligence.

Within a few days, the news from the other side of the riverbank, coupled with the sentinels sent by Guan Yu, made Liu De learn a shocking news:

Uncle Yang led 20,000 soldiers to attack Luanzhou, the general Ji Yuanxu died in the chaos, and Luancheng was captured by Yang Tianlong!

The little emperor was escorted away by several cronies and guards, and is now missing.

Liu De finally knew why the other side had withdrawn, because although there were many soldiers and horses on the other side, there were more showmanship, and Uncle Yang was no longer opposite, so to speak, Liu De was treated like a fool by Yang Tianlong and Uncle Yang!

Uncle Yang didn't want to fight Liu De at all, but Ming Xiu plank road secretly Chen Cang, and sent elite troops to attack Luanzhou, while Ji Yuanxu was defenseless and ended up dead.

"Damn!"

Liu De kicked over the case in front of him, this is the first time that Liu De has erupted into such a big anger since he became a chariot general, not because he hated the enemy's plan to deceive himself, but because he was angry that he didn't realize it.

Liu De let out a long sigh...

What a carelessness!

Xu Shu wanted Liu De to kowtow and plead guilty: "My lord, Shu failed to detect the enemy's plan, causing our army to stay here for more than a month, which is the fault of the minister!" Please also punish the Lord! ”

"How can I blame you for this!"

Liu De helped Xu Shu up, patted the back of Xu Shu's hand and said, "It's me who is too careless!" ”

"Strategist, with the current situation, what should we do?"

Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Lord, now General Guan has taken Bohai, General Yu has taken Guangping, and only Pinggu is still in the hands of the puppet emperor Yang Tianlong in the six counties of Jizhou, and there are two suggestions, one is to take advantage of the heavy snow to take Pinggu, and the other is to return to the army, and wait for the next year, and then send troops, now the little emperor does not know whether he is alive or dead, the world will be in a situation of no owner, and please think about it!" ”

Liu De knew Xu Shu's thoughts and refused: "It's not that time yet!" ”

Liu De walked a few steps back and forth in the big tent and asked, "How is the morale of the army now?" ”

Yan Nan bowed down and replied loudly: "Everyone is willing to fight to the death for the lord!" ”

"Good!"

Liu De shouted: "Since the morale is high, how can you return in vain, and the people will listen to the order!" ”

"In!"

All the generals will drink together.

"Open today! Expedition to Pinggu! ”

"Order!"

......

The news that Liu De was named the Duke of Han also spread to Liaocheng, and there was also jubilation in Liaocheng, and the officials in Liaocheng were all over for a while, and it should have been a little loose when the New Year approached, but when the news came, they all became full of enthusiasm in an instant.

After Xun Yu got the news, he also went to Chen's mansion in person and told Chen Shuo the news, Chen Shuo was still recuperating in the mansion, this is joyful news, Xun Yu of course wanted to tell Chen Shuo the news, and then there were some important things to discuss with Chen Shuo.

However, Xun Yu was also afraid that Chen Shuo would faint with excitement, and his guilt would be greater.

Fortunately, although Comrade Chen was still very excited, he did not faint.

Chen Shuo read the edict that canonized Liu De as the duke several times, and then said to Xun Yu: "This general Ji has a bad mind, and he actually divided the fief of the lord to Hanshui County, Huaizhou!" With such a narrow mind, how can you convince the princes of the world? ”

Xun Yu said: "That's right, as a general of the dynasty, he is indeed too stingy!" However, after all, the lord has the name hào, and actually occupies nearly two states, and the fief is in Huaizhou, and when he goes south in the future, this will give us an excuse to enter Huaizhou. ”

Chen Shuo nodded: "That's right!" ”

Chen Shuo talked about another important thing, "Now that the lord has captured Beiping and been named the Duke of Han by the imperial court, Liaocheng is no longer suitable as a place to govern, and the old man who moved from Liaocheng to Beiping is very much in agreement with the lord's letter."

The relocation of the office is important, the reaction of the various families in Liaocheng, the transfer of officials in Yanzhou, and the relocation of the generals' families, etc., there are many affairs, and the old man is old and sick, I'm afraid I can't help you too much..."

Xun Yu hurriedly bowed and said: "What did Gong Chen say, the lord's hegemony is gradually rising, and it is inseparable from Gong Chen's help... Yu's prestige is insufficient, and he can't be up to the task! ”

"Where did Xun Changshi say, the old man knew that his body was not as good as day by day, and he couldn't help the lord anymore... Now the lord needs you more than me, an old man! ”

Chen Shuo held Xun Yu's hand and said, "Xun Changshi, this Yanzhou will be handed over to you!" ”

Chen Shuo felt that his body could no longer support him to handle government affairs, so he transferred all the rights in his hands to Xun Yu.

Chen Shuo finally said to Xun Yu: "The transfer of the lord's family still needs to be discussed with his wife for a long time!" ”

The lady here only refers to Liu De's sister-in-law Qian, although Chen Ying is Liu De's wife, but the housemother of the family is still Qian, thanks to Chen Ying's good character, and he has known Qian since he was a child, so the two get along so harmoniously, if Ma Yuxuan is Liu De's wife, I am afraid that Liu De's back house will not be peaceful for a moment.

Xun Yu nodded to show that he understood, but still quietly asked Chen Shuo about one thing: "Duke Chen, I don't know what Her Royal Highness Princess Shiyi should do, the lord has not explained..."

Probably forgot... Xun Yu added in his heart.

"Princess Shiyi's status is noble, it's not up to you and me to decide, so it's better to send someone to inform the lord immediately!"

"Yes!"

Xun Yu bowed to Chen Shuo, then left the Chen Mansion and went to the Liu Mansion.

"Meet Madame! Meet the ladies! ”

Xun Yu bowed slightly and saluted Qian and the others.

Xun Yu is an important minister under Liu De, and the Qian family also took Liu Dezhong's concubine to return the salute to show respect for Xun Yu.

Chen Ying and Mi Zhen were resting in the backyard because of the proximity of gas production.

"I don't know what happened in the long history?" Qian ordered someone to serve tea.

Xun Yu said to the Qian family: "Madame, the lord has been named the Duke of Han by His Majesty, and he can build the Principality of Han, and he is ready to move the government from Liaocheng to Beiping, which will start after the year, so I have come to discuss with Mrs. about the ladies in the palace leaving Liaocheng and going to Beiping..."

"Ahh

Ma Yuxuan heard that Liu De had been named the Duke of Han, and shouted in surprise, although it was a little out of place, but the other concubines were also a little noisy after hearing it, so Ma Yuxuan's exclamation did not attract the attention of others.

"That's it! Be quiet! ”

Qian scolded the women.

All the women confessed, and they didn't dare to speak, but the joy was still on their faces, and only Li Lan and Xi'er were fine, and they didn't care too much about whether Liu De was a prince or a king...

Qian thought for a while and said: "Chen and Mi are about to give birth soon, it is really not suitable to travel far, and the other concubines can go together... I will stay in Liaocheng, wait until the two of them give birth, rest for a while, and think about leaving! ”

"Yes! I wonder if the two sons and Xiao Jie will go together..."Xun Yu asked again.

Qian was a little reluctant, but after thinking about it, he said, "Just let them go with their mother!" Zhao'er's first birthday is approaching, and the Zhou Capture Ceremony is just being held, and when he arrives in Beiping, he is telling his father! ”

Liu De's eldest son Liu Zhao was born in January, so the first birthday should hold a ceremony to catch the week, which is an important etiquette in the Great Zhou, even the royal family will let the prince and the princess catch the week, and the folk are even more so.

Ma Yuxuan's only regret is that Liu De is not by Zhao'er's side, for this time to catch Zhou, Ma Yuxuan also regarded it as a capital, but everything that caught Zhou was prepared by the Qian family, otherwise Ma Yuxuan still wanted to do something about it, and now Ma Yuxuan only hopes that her children will be more angry...

......

Zheng Kui also learned about this from his son who served as Liaocheng Cheng.

Zheng Kui's body is also getting worse day by day, but his thinking is still sharp, Zheng Boqi has been Liaocheng Cheng for so long, and he still can't compare with his father in a certain aspect.

"Father, now that the lord has been named the Duke of Han, after a year, he will move the governance office to Beiping... There are even rumors that the lord is going to move all the big families of Yanzhou to Beiping, so let's Zheng family..."Zheng Boqi asked hesitantly.

Zheng Kui pointed to Zheng Boqi's brain, hated iron and said, "You! The eye can only see the one acre and three points of land in Liaocheng, now Qing'er is a concubine by the side of the Han Gong, Zhong Ji and Shu Wei are lucky not to die on the battlefield, and they have made some small contributions, how can the Han Gong be treated badly? ”

"Although Yanzhou is the capital of a state, how can it be compared with Beiping? The king of Han is now in the general trend, and he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, in the eyes of the old man, this Beiping will be the political center in 30 years, and our Zheng family can only become one of the best families in the world only by following the footsteps of the Han Dynasty..."

"Father means that the child asked the lord to transfer to Beiping?" Zheng Boqi asked cautiously.

"No!"

Zheng Kui didn't want Zheng Boqi to go to Beiping, but said: "When the lord is really a big vassal, you will be transferred to a county and serve as a county guard, but with your qualifications, you will also be in the position of county guard...

However, if you work hard, plus Qing'er is in the harem, and the Zheng family's financial resources, maybe one day you can become the pastor of Yanzhou or Yanzhou, so you can't leave Yanzhou, and our foundation in Liaocheng still needs you to protect it.

Zhongji and Shubi stayed in Beiping! If something happens, the Zheng family should always leave a bloodline..."
